Shavings On The Gearbox Drain Plug

[made_guy]

hey y'all, i just replaced my gearbox oil yesterday and was amazed at how many shavings of gears/synchros (or whatever the hell they're from) attached to my plug!!!

is this a normal amount to have?

Ive got noisy bearings in my 25t box and it had the same.

no thats f**ked. id start saving. if it hasnt popped yet it will soon enough. sory dude. better to be prepared than to get caught of guard.

which part? the whole gearbox?? seriously??

[Bl4cK32]

like i said mines had noisy bearings since i bought it 2nd hand and has lasted over 2-3 yrs behind my 3lt.

It could just take a service of replacing bearings and having the synros looked at (and replacing any dodgy ones)

Nothing serious if u get it serviced now, however if something lets go while driving it can do a bit of damage.

I changed the oil for a skyline a few days ago....he has got half of what u have and hes gearbox is a bit f*$k...prepare for the worst,but change the oil again after around 2500k see how it go.....use some new oil to flush a little bit of those metal pieces first so next time when u change oil then u know whats the condition...

U sure the box actually had oil in it? I've never seen that much before!

[racsov500]

only a problem when you have metal chunks coming out.

make sure your oils right and it should be fine

was it crunching? why were you replacing the oil?

[made_guy]

crunching a little bit, but nothing major really. i just figured the oil hadn't been changed for ages. feels a hella of a lot better now it's changed tho. i suppose i'll do it again in a while and see how it looks.
