R33 Gearbox Rebuild?

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I´ve got some synchro scrape/noise when switching to fourth and fifth gear.

I´ve been told that this is a common problem with the R33 manual gearbox.

Who in Perth could rebuild an R33 gearbox and has someone got an idea what it would cost?

Cheaper picking up a replacement after the labour & part's involved to remove the box then repairing it. I've got one here if needed dude.

yeah but when your synchros are gone its a pain in the ass. cant shift into certain gears at higher rpm's. I mean its still very driveable but as they said you can replace the g/box with one from a wreckers but who knows if that doesn't have the same problems. Replacing synchro's will set you back about $1000 + labour.

Try some Redline oil first

I have the same problem, crunches at high RPM going to 4th. might try some Redline oil first, but am considering rebuilding the box if or when it fails.

If i was to get a box from the wreckers is there a fair chance it could be also hammered n soon will scrap?

If i was to rebuild is there any way to make the syncro's and gears stronger with aftermarket parts? or a is there other boxes you can put in that are better / stronger?

well if you want your gearbox syncros replaced i had a few replaced and my gearbox fixed up (bearing was fked inside it) at perfect transmissions in bibra lake, awesome guy knows his transmissions! him and a friend were the only ones to actually guess RIGHT what was wrong with my car..all other mechanics wouldve cost me 2k+ (due to them going to replace the clutch first...) only cost me 1k total for new syncros and some bearings fixed oh and new thrust bearing just for the sake of it (even though i had a new clutch in anyway) :P

Did they do all the labour then as well? Or did you take down ur gearbox and left it with them?

basically took the car to the shop to get a crunching fixed (was the bearing) and he fixed it (he does cash jobs to)

uhm wasn't a recon but he atleast told me the condition of the gearbox which is it's still good (strong gearboxes :()

but yeah...1k cash for labour + syncros (2nd and 3rd i had replaced i think it was...) + bearing + thrust bearing

my advice is though if you DO see him... ask when he actually NEEDS the car.. cause he had mine for a couple of weeks lol before he got to work on it (he can be very busy) like 10 cars somehow fit into his shop... i dunno how haha

good place though ;) great guy

Sounds like it´s worth to pay them a visit. Should be alot cheaper if I just get the gearbox of and hand that one in... should save some money on labour...

Also what I was thinking.

Anyone know if it's true that 34gtt boxes have dual synchros?

    • Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30. just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years. cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body.    already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together. this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!! thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️ att.jiLuuIrdYfPMplUAOjVfrq4OOOc082zjTnt1kJrhKVQ.mp4
    • Oooh, right. That makes so much more sense. For some reason I was picturing them selling a variety of pipe ends with nipples on them... Solid reasoning.
    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
