R33 Gtst Gearbox Stuck In Reverse Gear

[Shaun]

Gday,

Ive got an r33 gtst gearbox behind an rb26 engine in an r32 gtst shell. The car has been on stands for about a year and a half (with oil in the gearbox) while the engine was being built, but i put the engine in the other day, started it up for the first time and took the car for a spin very slowly around my street (due to untuned state). The gearbox felt normal and ive never had any problems with it. Its a low kms one from an importer.

As im reversing the car out of the garage ready to be towed to sydney for tuning, the gear stick gets stuck in reverse and will not budge. From the position of the gearstick, it doesnt look like its in reverse (its kinda half way between reverse and neutral).

There were no sudden noises or anything, it just got stuck. Ive tried rollong the car back and forth etc to no avail.

Anyone with any ideas? I dont know much about gearboxes!

Thanks,

Shaun.

Gearbox out.

Either "Return to Supplier", or just disassemble and fix. It's probably popped the selector fork out of the selector rod.

I cant return it as ive had it for two years; even though its had very little use (less than 200kms).

I hate pulling gearboxes out!
