Gear Box Or Clutch Problem.

hey all.

i've got a rb20det, and i always thought that my 2nd gear syncro was on its way out, coz its hard to down gear into it from 3rd or 4th without it crunching. and it would only change when going under 40km or when the box was warm. so it was always on the cards to get a new box when i could afford it.

but just recently my mate had a drive of my car and noticed that my clutch pedal was sticky, and didn't return to its proper postion.

and he said that the reason its not returning is that the clutch is getting worn and that it hasn't got enough pressure to push the pedal back up.

and this is the reason i havn't been ab;e to shift gears properly and crunching gears..

so i'm not sure if i need to replace clutch or gear box?

i'd just like to hear any other thoughts from anyone.

cheers.

could be both now, sounds like the the thrust bearing is sticking to the snorkel of the gearbox causing the clutch to "drag" wich in turn has caused your sycoros to die, all bad news there,

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
