hey all with wisedom out their

im driving a 350rwkw rb30det cefiro with a rb25 box and nismo short shifter

iv just got this really strange intermitent problem when while im driving the shifter kinda of locks up. almost goes so tight that even in the neutral position i have to use both hands to wobble the shifter side to side.. then out of no where it will kinda of knock and go back to normal.. its happened twice now and is not a good thing to experience whilst in traffic

when i was putting the shifter back in the box the little plastic bush on the end of the shifter did fall into the gearbox threw the shifter hole, i was under the impresion it would have either fallen to the bottom of the box or being plastic have crushed before causing any damage.

any ideas what could cause this?

also what are the symptoms of a bent or broken selector fork??

cheeers in advance guy's ;)

any help appreciated

yeah i replaced the bush that fell off with a bush off the standard shifter.. shes still on their..

any way the bush could be slightly wedged against the gearbox housing and the selector fork or somthing?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
