Transmission Problem - Help

[adrian.lag]

I have an r32 skyline gtst, 5 speed manual,

the problem is that 5th gear, netual and reverse itself all 3 work as reverse, I can put the car into the other 4 gears with no worries at all, but it won't allow me to take off, when I go to accelerate the car starts to die down and will stall,

anyone know what is causing this, please and thank you.

What do you mean they work in reverse? 5th is reverse and reverse is 5th? I don't quite get it sorry

As for the issue with taking off and dying, sounds more like an engine problem then a Transmission problem to me

More info?

I think he means

5th gear, neutral & Reverse - ALL work as reverse..

If you can't take off, then how do you know those gears are all selecting reverse??

Sounds like selectors are broken and you've got only reverse and 4th or 5th

any idea of a price to fix it all?

[MBS206]

No

$500 for a new (2nd hand) box + a couple of hours labour to change it + whatever else needs doing, like fresh oil, maybe the clutch will be found to be in a bad state, etc.

oh sweet as any places I cam buy it online?

[GTSBoy]

Well.....maybe. But that somewhat depends on where you are. For example, on these very forums, right now, there's a guy in Perth advertising an engine and gearbox (he won't split them) for a grand. So you get a spare engine if you were willing to buy it all (and were in Perth). Otherwise, there are various other forums you could browse the for sales on, there are any number of Jap import wreckers you could google up. If you are capable of doing the work yourself, then you might buy this way. But if you're going to get a mechanic to do the job, then it might be just as easy to get him to source the box. Then any warranty problems are his. Sure, you pay a bit more for that luxury, but that's life.
