hey guys, yestur arvo i was driving around when i noticed my gears started crunchin alot, thought it was a random. but untill i got to set of lights and couldnt get into 1st, i wrestled with it a bit and finally got it into gear after a good crunch and thud. Later on i noticed i couldnt get into 2nd same thing a thud and LOUD CRUNCH. Then lost 3rd, 4th but sadly not 5th lol. i was wondering if its my standard clutch which cannot handle my diff and over time the 2way lsd has worn it out completly that its gone. i didnt notice any oil leakage or clutch smell, a mate said it could be my syncros but not sure. Now car is undrivable :down:

BTW the clutch does catch rite at top of the paddle, and did drive it like that for ages :down:

Could it be:

Clutch

Gearbox oil, or gearbox

Short shift kit

Ne help appreciated thanks.

Sounds like "new gearbox" time. Why did you continue driving after the problem began?

Can you select gears while the engine isn't running?

yeah only when the engines off, before i thought the clutch was failing but it seems a bit worse now

well Rb25 box be the way to go, im looking at hitting the car sideways on the track.

CHEERS for all ur replies

if you can change gears with engine off and cant get it into gear with engine running, car not moving and clutch pedal down, it is probably your clutch slave cylinder, clutch line leaking or dead master cylinder. or possibly broken pivot for the fork inside the bellhousing. can you see any fluid in the master cylinder? can you put the car up on stands and get someone to watch the slave cylinder while you push the clutch? it should move the fork a couple of cm.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
