I was just wondering if anyone happens to know how many quarts of ATF are supposed to be but in a tranny for an R32 Gtst. I already replaced it once, and guess i didn't get enough fluid in it (even though the dipstick said there was enough) because about a month or 2 later, the transmission was totally shot once again. I'm just wondering, because I'm running out of transmissions to put in it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a gear ratio difference between a tranny for a GTS and a GTS-t?

Thanks in advance.

No, I'm using the torgue converter that was with the tranny that I put it, what happened is that i did a auto-manual conversion on my GTS-t, and used the auto from the GTS-t to fix my wife's GTS (in which the tranny was totally shot). I already have everything together, and the tranny seems to be doing ok, but I want to make sure that I have at least close to the right amount of ATF in it, as I do not want to have to hunt down another AT.

So you are running a GTST auto in a GTS (N/A).

 

I'll look it up in the engine manual tonight after tea.

 

Maybe its the way she drives??  

My other half has a habbit of killing cars. ;)

Yes, I'm running an GTS-t AT in a GTS (N/A)

And I can't blame her for the tranny problems, as she has never driven that one, because I don't want her driving it (and getting stranded somewhere) if something does go wrong with the tranny, so for now, she isn't driving anything, because first she can't drive stick, and 2nd, I don't want her driving the GTS-T. I got the GTS-T a while back, and the GTS is my old car. The initial tranny was slipping a bit, just due to the amount of miles on it, and the guy I bought it from drove it kinda rough, so I replaced it with another GTS AT, and it ran great for about a month, but then rather quickly went downhill to being completely undriveable, due to the transmission being totally shot. So it was sitting for a good bit, as I got the GTS-t as soon as the tranny in the GTS started going bad again. Like I said, it seems to be running ok, just I know there's too much ATF in it now, as when I went to lunch today, I came back out, and there was a small pool of ATF in the parking spot under the car. My guess would be that it is coming out the air vent on the tranny, as the tranny gets hot and the ATF expands. Just a thought, don't have any hard proof as of yet, I'll try to take a look at it tommorow.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could look that up for me. It would make my life a lot easier, as my options are limited being the gaijing that doesn't speak much japanese.

Thanks again,

Lucas

Sorry buddy, it appears only to be an Engine with most other bits but gearbox manual.  

 

It doesn't list anything about what type or how many litres to use ;)

 

Have you tried Skylines downunder?

Nope haven't tried there yet, I guess I could give it a shot. Thanks for trying anyways.

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.

      Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.

      We have an alignment shop out here that does what you're talking about but he wants like 800 AUD a pop. DIY is "cheaper" but once you start accounting for the value of your time I'm not sure it's worth it.

      The main catch phrase for any car is "the eye of the beholder", and "personal tastes and preferences" And as for the plastic "flares", I honestly think they look cheap and tacky, and I cannot see them aging well, maybe if they were body colour they might look better to my eyes, but, I would still prefer it the were more like the older WRX STI models that had the wider body metal panels In saying all this 5hit, I wouldn't buy a new WRX again, even if it had the wide body metal panels
