I was thinking of geting my g'box serviced or possibly re-built..

its starting to snatch into 2nd gear.. it doesnt crunch as of yet or any thing, just kind snatches in.. i think it will start crunching with a few more thousand km's at lease tho.

question is..

can i get my clutch adjusted to stop this?

do i need a re-build of the box?

or just a service?

what price am i looking at, and do i have any other options?

thanks alot guys.

cheers

Matt

flush the gearbox oil first. Try Castrol VMX80 if you're on a budget or Redline Shockproof Gearbox Oil if you've got about $100 or so.

I had similar issues on my R32 but I changed recently to VMX80. Solved most issues. I'll be trying the Redline in about 10,000km's. John from UAS swears by the Redline Oil.

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".

      I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
