Notchy 2nd gear shift r33

[Blakeo]

Experiencing a notchy shift from 1st to 2nd only when cold.

Was thinking of changing out my penrite proshift with redline lightweight shockproof.

Thinking gearbox might need a rebuild from what I've read on here.

Only put Redline Lightweight if your gearbox crunches.

It's a pain in the arse, just make sure ur oil is in good nick. Smurf's blood is good once the gearbox is getting tired and it will tend to make the gear changes even worse when cold but comes into its own when warmed up. It also tends to crunch gears at high rpm as it slows the syncro down a bit.

You can try a friction modifier like nulon or slick 50 gearbox product etc as they do help, but you probably have to just warm it up properly or rev match when cold like I have to do every morning.

Also just make sure it's not your clutch binding when it's cold.

Happens a bit, mine is hard [not impossible] to get into gear when stopped.  Worse when cold. Fine when traveling along.

I have smurf blood, it helped a bit, but didn't solve the issue.  One day a gearbox rebuild is on the cards, but its not at that point just yet.

Clutch binding when cold has got me interested, do skylines have adjustable clutches?

Nah they aren't adjustable but any clutch can drag. You will notice that it doesn't disengage fully as the plate partially binds and causes notchy changes and hard to get into gear. You will also notice the car will try to creep forward and a lower idle rpm when at the stop in gear with the clutch engaged.
