gears feeling smoother now!

[makaveli]

Hi guys,

the other day I decided to rev it out a lil through 1st to 5g's and I changed to 2nd quick but not like i was slamming it in and I heard a crunch and it felt like the car bogged down and I though ohh shit i think i just ***d something.

Then I realised it was in 4th, stupid me

Since that happened the gear go in smoother now, could something be wrong?

Also i used to feel a lil bump wen changing into 4th at higher rpm's no its gone.

what do you guys think could i have damaged anything?

i dont hear any noises and it feels normal.

I'd be happy with that outcome

Sounds like one of those unexplainable freaky things. Maybe the load on the gearbox when placed into four resulted in a minor shifting of an intenal part. Don't worry too much about it as the skyline boxes can easily handle harsher punishment. Just be glad that the outcome was good. Now you know what to do, if the previous problem comes back .

seems like a good outcome for now at least

I'll just add what I was telling you Mark. A month or so back I had similar. Came home one night after a long drive (200km or so). Had a few very hard launches just as i was almost home. One hard launch CRUNCH into 2nd.. then every gear pretty much it would have troubles going into. and was crunching seriously and making very bad grindy noises.

Seriously thought my clutch, or worse gearbox was fried (it seemed more gearbox than clutch as it wasn't slipping, but I could be wrong). Next day, was still doing it, agg, this was bad - was hoping severely it was just a heat related problem. Left it for a few days. Started behaving a lot more reasonably, still the slight crunch as it went into gears though. For the next few days after that it gradually got more and more reasonable, and eventually back to totally normal as it has always been. Seems like it had "repaired" itself or maybe the internals had aligned them selves correctly again. No idea! And still no idea to this day, and I don't have much idea of how a gearbox really works other than it has "synchros" and "selector forks" to get it into gears. Never sure it was the gearbox or clutch related problem. Anybody have any suggestions?

You have to remember though, the gearboxes aren't unbreakable. I am sure I could hose my gearbox if I really tried hard enough over a long enough period, even with 190rwkw or so... just with hard geardowns, long gearups (just my driving style i guess) its starting to show its wear.

In my R30, I had rattles and clunks coming from it for ages, and some vibrations... Then I decided to do some burnouts and 'nuts. The car seemed to go alright still, until I accelerated accross and intersection on the way to the video store once, and there was a loud Crunch, bang, clunk.... rattle rattle..... And I had no movement... And car wouldn't rev lol...

That was funny...

I know what it was... do you?

My brothers skyline had 330kws at the wheels before he sold his engine and he had a stock gearbox he didnt have any problems and he drove it hard all the time.
