Well, got the car back, had mega dramas with said tuners, now the gearbox i have purchased from PAR is not holding 2nd gear. On light acceleration or on/off throttle eg. roundabout navigation the shifter rocks forward and backwards and "pops" out of 2nd gear, and ONLY 2nd gear. I have tried to contact gerrard but holidays mean exactly that. So, my question is, is there an external point to acces the ball and detent on the gtr33 gearbox and has anyone else experienced this issue with the PAR gearset.

PLEASE NOTE: This is by no means a shit slinging match, if you have nothing constructive to say, please keep the comment to yourself. I am in no way trying to talk down this product, simply looking for information and experiences.

Thanks Al

I don't think the detent on the side is going to help you. It only stops reverse from being selected at the same time as another gear I think.

The most likley cause would probably be the synchro clips haven't been put it or they have fallen out/broken.

Drain the oil into a clean bucket and look for small thin metal parts. Metal 'hair' on the drain plug is ok. It's large chunks of metal you are looking for.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
