Gearbox Crunch

[slow ride]

I've had this problem since I bought my car a few weeks ago. Every so often, about 40% of the time, my car just won't go into first gear. I have to get it into third then go to first. Very annoying if I need to get it into first quickly.

Also, when I'm going at over 60 and I go into 4th it crunches really bad. Like when you try to change gears without your foot on the clutch.

The cars got a genuine C's short shifter. What can be the problem? I'm thinking it might be the clutch, or the short shifter?

What speed are you going at when you try to go to first!??

Mine (and many other Skylines i've been in) won't go into first unless you are practically stopped. I don't think you're SUPPOSED to go to first from a speed that would carry you in 3rd-4th.

As for the crunch, the redline gearbox oil took a lot of crunch away for me and many others here.

try the redline (or equivilant) i used this stuff from germany, works really well, This was only becuase my clutch is starting to wear out. Could be your clutch worn also. or your Syncros are on there way out the door :S
