Redline Shock Proof Problem

Well i have spent ages trying to work out why my gear box keeps spilling fluid out through the breather in the gear box. No seals are leaking, its just coming out of the breather. It didn't happen with the previous fluid that was in there only once i put the shock proof stuff in.

Once i changed it, i poured almost the full bottle in, 3.6L roughly. Since then it just has been leaking, so i ran an rubber hose to the top of the engine bay, so most of the time this is enough to stop it. It hasn't and now i'm considering changing to another type of gear box fluid as it sh*ts me to tears.

anyone had simular problems? cause its meant to be good stuff.

Anyone got/had simular problems?

Thanks in advance

did you fill it correctly through the filler hole and not through the shifter and guess the amount of fluid?

if it is filled correctly, i.e. correct level, running out of filler hole with the car level, then change to another fluid.

redline is over rated in my books anyway.

Nar mate it was filled via the shifter from the cabin, but i unscrewed the bolt on the side of the gear box (filler?) and the fluid level seems ok.

I have always run smurf blood in my R33 with no issues.

I would suggest that there is too much oil in the box. Park the car on a level site and remove the filler plug on the side of the box to drain out any excess oil.

Is this a GTR or GTS-T?

The shifter goes into the transfer case on a GTR, so if you filled the transfer case youve mixed ATF and synthetic, and are running your gearbox dry.

And... I think the GTS-T's are supposed to use Redline ultra-lite weight, not the light weight. Its more like an ATF oil that is used in the R34 getrags as wel.

Its just a single turbo! and i done my research and everyone said its fine, plus mechanics, redline and search engine

But thanks anyways!!!

I just realised that i'm gonna try a rachet so i can adjust the angle and on the way home pick up a water pipe for extra leverage :blush:

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
