Gearbox Problem

Car: 2000 R34 25GT N/A

Trans: 5 speed manual

Problem: Extremely hard to get into gear when cold and very notchy till she is fully warmed up.

Car was brought into Aus in March 2013 and complianced and registered in May 2013. Presumed mileage on the paperwork I have was 70,331km. I am second owner in Aus. According to the paperwork I have all fluids were changed. I have checked the level in the gearbox and it it fine. However the oil put in smells like normal 80w 90 MINERAL oil which I know is not correct. I want to change oil but my question is what if any damage may have been done to the gearbox since I have had the car. Problem as I said is only when cold and motor running. Clutch feels good and seems to be releasing properly. Any thoughts appreciated.

You have wrong or crap oil in gearbox.

Drop oil with either

VMX 80 and nulon gearbox treatment

or

Smurfs blood

IT will only cost you 30 odd for the castrol oil and you will be able to tell if it is better. IF not then you have to do more fault finding. Taking gearbox out n shit

Thanks fellas. Will check the clutch freeplay as well but it seems to be fine. Pretty sure its the wrong oil. Smells the same as the 80m90 shit you put in the old ford and holden gearboxes and diffs. Stupid flaming Indians.

Normaly its a sign that the oil used is too thick.

Years ago some Toyota boxes were like this from factory, very hard to shift and notchy when cold, the repair bulitin was to run a thinner oil in them.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
