Transmission Workshops For Us In Wa

[260tech]

In my Stag 5th gear has always hummed away happily at cruising speed but I did a trip down to the coast recently & noticed (on the way back) that my gearbox was also starting to speak up in 1,2,3rd. Previous driving adventures has not produced tunes in these gears, sounds like some hardening has gone from a bearing(s) or gear teeth, soooo.....time to arrange an investigation before things get nasty if they ain't already.

I have ordered some magnetic drain plugs(bolts) to maybe confirm source of music but in advance I would like to know who SAUWA members with problems are using for Skyline manual transmission (GTR box I guess) rebuilds these days.

Done a search of WA forum listed workshops & nobody jumps out from the listings as specialising in transmission fixing, I have also looked for possible replacement items on Importmonster, Nengun, RHDjapan............HKS sequential box $16k landed, don't want a Getrag conversion neither. The box is not that noisy thank goodness & the car does not go out much so there is plenty of time to make the right choices as to what to do & which workshop to use.

Not interested in members bad outcomes on the public forum but pm'ed advice on what to avoid would be appreciated, I just need to know where to go for good advice & a good result.

PM or public, whichever is politically correct.

Thanks in advance.......

Cheers GW

Second hand box can be had for about 1k. Would not like to see the price of a rebuild.

brand new genuine nissan boxes are only $3300 from just jap.

otherwise 2nd hand is the best option
