Gearbox Wont Come Out R33 Gtr

[dundersmurfen]

So, new clutch is very much needed. Getting all stuff loose is no problem all bolts and cables etc. Gearbox housing and engine separates 15-20mm, then i use more force to get it away from engine, lots of violence actually... it just bounces right back. Got rid of that rubber thing and there is something in there thats holding it in place... Is there some special way? or just even more violene, go terminator on it?

car is 1995 gtr, did this in a 1992 gtr, that was like a "normal" clutch just remove bolts and away it goes, simple. but not this r33..

whats strange is i cant find anyone complaining about this anywhere on here...

Sounds like a pull type clutch, you have to release thrust bearing from pressure plate, usually just a matter of getting flatblade in right place and twisting. DONT force it.

yeah exactly you need to release the fork from the bearing carrier, quite different to the push clutch in the 32. have a look through the access hole where the fork goes and follow it upwards, you will see the pin you need to release.

Yep that was a pull clutch. never seen one before. twisting it with was the way to go. or getting the pin to fork out.
