Gearbox/clutch Issues

[bozodos]

I've got a RB25 Stagea gearbox in my R32, now I'm having trouble getting it into gears at all - often taking off first will clunk and not go in - I've got to clutch it several times to go in, 5th-4th crunches often, and sometimes when going into other gears, I had a look at what I think is the hydralic fluid resivour, its near empty, and had a look around the pedal - nothing appears to be broken like the pedal box?

I might try filling up the resivour, can anyone tell me what type of fluid goes into it?

Brake fluid

sounds like your slave cylinder is stuffed check for leaks around it or the flexible hose

Lift the carpet - I had my master leaking down between the carpet and firewall.

really? well I filled up the resiviour today, it took about 100ml, but the residual which was in there was quite dark coloured, seemed to fix the problem so far, apart from the odd grind 5th-4th, pedal feels a lot lighter, but I'll keep checking in case it's one of the cylinders or a line leaking, thats a little perturbing that yours was leaking underneath the carpet BlindElk :S
