Hows it going guys, long time lurker decided to make an account..

Just under 2 weeks ago i got a new excedy twin plate pull-type put into my car (93 BNR32) I also got new transmission & transfer case fluid's. I asked my mech to put in redline, but due to the un-availability of it he put in a motul oil. The first night i picked up the car the clutch was quite noisy when cold and got a bit better when warm, i also found that 2nd gear was crunching and so was 4th (4th used to only crunch when driven hard and changed into at over 80). I also found that the car off the line would really struggle to move unless i rode the clutch a bit (1200-1400rpm) ... I rang my mech in search of answers, he told me that it was a new clutch and that once the necessary 500km's are driven to wear it in, it should all level itself out..

Week and a bit has past and i travelled the 500km, last night i took it for a quick spin.... I then decided to give it a quick squirt 1st into 2nd.. i noticed that it was terribly rough and could feel 3 very quick gear box shudders before it took of in 2nd, i tried it again and the same thing happened. I then decided to shift slower and much more deliberately into 2nd and it worked fine...

Today i took it for another drive to the shops, no hard driving.. and noticed on start up the knock went to 18... i've never had knock go over 1 on start up before... It was also a pain in the ass to start moving from stationary and was making all kinds of noises.

So atm just waiting for my mech to open again so i can give him a call..

I have a feeling that somehow the box was not put back in properly or the clutch isn't balanced... pretty new to all this, but i do remember the mech telling me he hadn't done a pull type clutch in quite some time, i have a sneaky suspision that it may have been a rush job.... Car was in the shops for 2 weeks, Majority of that time was waiting for late parts... Most of the work was carried out in 1 day, so i dunno..

Anyone have ideas on what could be wrong and what would be the best way to approach my mech about all this?

Nothing is wrong with knock hitting 18 on start up.

What motul gearbox oil did he put in? Mineral junk or the full synth Gear 300?

The gear 300 is excellent stuff and will not cause shift problems. The mineral HD motul stuff will.

Motul Gear 300 > Redline anyway. :thumbsup:

Not really.. I went from Valvoline semi-synth stuff to VMX80 with an improvement; then to Gear HD and it was horrid, worse than the very cheap valvoline semi-synth

Motul gear 300 ftw if you want good shift quality or simply run the cheap VMX80.

So what your saying is all my gearbox problems "could" be caused by the fluids im using?

wtf does knock have to do with a clutch?? twin plates are noisy.

ive installed trillions of the bastards and theyve all been noise.. thats how they are.. tripples r even worse and 4 r worse again.

as for ur crunching. definately sounds like wrong oils. 75-140 is way too thick for the box anyway. Factory recommends 80/90 which is what i use and i have no problems @ all..

change ur oils. as for shudders and vibrations before takin off?? wtf does that even mean.. when u accel, petrol goes in motor, explodes, makes engine move connects to flywheel wihch moves clutch hence moves car..

it wont vibrate a few times b4 moving.. its not a horse. you open throttle, it moves, unless theres something wrong with ur tune/engine. gearbox doesnt have anything to do with that.. all it does is transfers energy from engine to wheels.

where abouts are u from? i could give u a hand with it if ur in melb.

I know there meant to be a harsher and noisier then standard..

Im glad it's just oils, thought i may have had something worse on my hands...

Disapointed that the mech put it in there with all the experience he's got with gtr's :)

Im from queensland mate... cheers

I've noticed HD clutches require a slight change to driving style to get the car moving. I only fitted a HD single plate clutch. Before that, I'm pretty sure I could ease the clutch - no throttle - and the car would start moving. I now find I need to give some revs or the engine will stall.

So, try giving a few more revs before you start to engage the clutch, see if that solves the "shudder".

Reset says

MOTUL GEAR 75 / 140 COMP GEARBOX

Hey hi i have a gtr r33 i put in mi gear box a motul 75w90 gear box mechany and in the differential a put this oil too ,is correct oil for both parts thanks i living in dominicain republic you know here is too much warn , thanks for all....

Motul Gear could be Gear HD the mineral junk.

Gear 300 is the only stuff you want. I've tried the Gear HD and it is Nooooooo good. Bulks on fasts shifts once warm also. :S

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
