Gears Go Into Neutral Without Clutch Help...?

[voox]

i just got a r33 gearbox with blitz twin plate clutch put into my 32 and now when i drive through the gears my car tends to fall back into neutral without even pressing on the clutch and also my steering goes stiff hard after bout 2 mins of driving it gets kinda annoyin cause i hav to constantly hold the gearstick in one hand and try and steer with the other any help would be apreciated

if its popping out of gear then theres a good chance the box is f**ked...

I had Nissan Pulsar Q (the SR20 model) and it would always pop out of 5th gear. The box wasn't f**ked, had to replace something though that cost about $300 from memory.. have no idea what it was, going back a few years now when I had little interest in cars. If yours is doing it in all gears though you could be in trouble. Where'd you get the box from? I'd say give a mechanic a call.

the steering is related to a hicas error. most likely the hicas computer isn't receiving a speed signal.

Hi,

Common problem.. are you sure you don't have the rubber boot around the wrong way? Puzzled me for ages...

[turboedsloth]

dang it i was gona write that. if its popping out of 1st, 3rd an 5th turn the boot round 180degrees

[Duncan]

wtf never heard that before lol...sounds like a damn easy mistake to make

[turboedsloth]

haha yeah it is. i did it last time i put a new clutch in my car. marked the boot with a big fat white F for next time

[voox]

went to a couple of mechanics the majority of them say the synchros stuffed but ill try the boot thingy thanx guys

[rgr34]

yeh sounds like synchros...... i have an old car with bad synchro in 2nd gear pops out if ya dont hold it.....downshifting at speed if u dont match engine speed can be hard to hold in haha

[sinergy motorsports]

i have a similiar problem, gear pops out in 1st, 3rd and 5th... think its a synchro problem...
