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,

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
