Hey all .

Ok now so i finally decided to do the upgrade on my 32 and shove a 25 box in . So i got the box all mounted up and my short shifter all bolted in and selected everygear perfect. So i then put all the custom tailshaft and ect on then started it up to find i cant selct gear while cars running? Flywheel was remachined and clutch was only 10000kms old threw a new thrust bearing in and changed over slave . The fork isnt cracked and the slave does move the fork a good distance . Wtf is going on?

Without the engine running, you will always be able to select gears, even without using the clutch.

Simple answer is that the clutch isn't disengaging the engine from the gearbox. I suspect that the RB20 pressure plate isn't as tall as a RB25 plate, or the thrust bearing carrier is too short for the combo you have.

Can you determine how much free play you have at the fork?

You will probably have to remove the gearbox and do some measurements on the clutch assembly and the thrust bearing motion to determine what is (not) happening.

pressure plates should be the same, as aftermarket kits for these always say they will fit both rb20det or rb25det.

one of my mates had the exact same thing happen after we installed a new clutch and short shifter on his r32 about 5 years ago, i could be wrong but i think we just had to make an adjustment at the master cylinder.. or maybe the one behind the clutch pedal.. i cant remember which one exactly.

Adjust the rod at the top of the pedal..

The only time you will have serious issues is with multiplate clutches and getting the correct bearing/carrier size.

I'm going to assume you bled the system properly after changing slaves?

this might be silly, but did you check you had the clutch plate facing the right way?

would be difficult to bolt the pressure plate on if this was the case...

fly wheel bolts too long and touching the clutch plate ?? although u would think the flywheels would be similar in thickness

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      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.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
