BNR34 new gearbox rebuild still making noise is it oil or bad build

Hi guys 

so I when I was building my car thought I go ahead and change bad syncros and the mechanic said I also needed few gears as well.  It's been I year and  1/2 I just never used the car cuz been under restoration and engine build. So I can't go back for Warrenty,  the mechanic rebuild Supra gearbox all day so he suggested to use the Supra gearbox oil from toyota. And  at first driven the car no problem like new.  Then did engine upgrade did dyno but now I come to drive the car I can say been 100 miles on this box and now I hear shine noise when I let go the gas at low speed and plus start grind for some gears. Wtf.  

I even use OS GIKEN thriple plate clutch beside the Clutch noise at  idle. I was told that normal. So I'm ok with that.

but I been reading you guys use different oil on forms. Is my problem oil. Or bad build

thanks

Assuming your mechanic used something like Castrol Transmax Z which is commonly used for Getrag gearboxes in both Supras and 34 GTRs that should be fine.  So it might be something else...  Take it back to the builder and get their opinion.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
