When i shift from 1st to 2nd i can hear a whistle comming from the gearbox but havent noticed it from any other gear. would it be the synchros being in bad condition or sumthing? i have a mate with an impreza (not a wrx) and hes got the same thing. im worried because his car is nothing but problems and i dont want to find out that my gearbox has S#!t its self.

that all depends on what tune it's whistling :)

when did you last change your gearbox oil?

its hard to explain in writing, its a short high pitch whine going from 1st to 2nd.

i bought the car 2weeks ago and he said he had a service last month, so i assume it was checked then. a guy from work told me it could be the thrust bearing, but he is not a mechanic... could he be right??

if it was the thrust bearing how serious is it and how much to fix?

cheers mate

don't assume anything with gearbox oil, I reckon it's an easily overlooked item. It's not a big drama to change it anyway. Same with the diff oil.

thrust bearing would make a noise depending on what you did with the clutch, not the gearbox. put the clutch in first and see if it makes a noise, THEN try to change gears and see which action causes it.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
