Could An Out Of Alignment Clutch Cause This?

[TUF250]

Hi all,

My r33 gts-t is crunching second.I have replaced the oil with redline and its still doing it. Sometimes a little notchy into third as well. all other gears seem pretty ok although sometimes its a little nobby into 4th.

Anyway my clutch friction point is reasonably close to the floor. probably only 20% of the way up and it is completely engaged.

Could this cause my crunch problem? Is it worth me geting it adjusted and the system bled?

PS if I Shift out of first into Neutral then blip the throttle and then continue the shift it seems to not crunch, its just a pain!

Thanks

also note that the crunch into second is from first. dosnt seem to do it downshifting back to second.

thoughts?????

My car does this, ive got redline in there but it got better after 5000km and now it only does it if its a cold morning for the first minute (hardly does it at all now but)

I changed my clutch and it didnt not fix the problem but i never thought the alighment of the clutch would cause a crunch. Just worn syncros

How long has the Redline been in there?

mine does th esame.. when its cold 1st - 2nd crunches... little notchy into 3rd.. once it heats up it will do it occasionally only....

redline has been in there for about 500ks now. certainly much better once it warms up, only does it occassionally once warm. In the morning if you double clutch it dosnt crunch but if you dont it will until warm. so this is a common problem, ill just ahve to be nice

If the clutch is not 100% disengaged then it can cause crunching, and since you're friction point is close to the floor it could be happening, but you can probably tell by feel if it is or not. Check out the DIY section there's bound to be something on pedal adjustment and/or bleeding.

This redline stuff..

Is it ok to mix with stand box-oil ?

Im sure the box is 2L ..?

so if i mix 50/50 ... 1L of redline, and hte other with gearbox oil.. that ok ?

or would you get the full effect if it was 100% redline ? (that redline stuff is pricey !)

I dont think its a good idea to mix it. I noticed when i drained the redline stuff out into a container with an other gearbox oil they separated!
