hey guys ive owned an r32gtst auto(unfortunatley) for about 2 years now and had a blown tranny, i got one from a wrecker as i am selling the car, after ui done that i found the turbo was seized and changed that, after that it wasnt running perfect but still alright, then that gearbox, goodbye (ekw have the worst parts) so i went and bought an r33gtst gearbox (again secondhand) and the gearbox seems fine, oil is nice and pinka nd everything, i put it in but my car runs incerdibly sluggish, takes off very slowly doesnt come on too boost as hard e.t.c, it has 145 kms on it and its going too one of my mates so i wanna fix this prob for him, wats your opinions, any help would be greatly appreciated???

I'm no guru on GTS autos but the ecu runs the trans.....so if you have a 32 with a 33 trans....they are most likely diffrent and its taking off in a higher gear or something to that effect

afaik R32 and R33 autos are exactly the same.. they are both RE4R01A boxes of same specifications.. and they are used in a few other nissans as well (pathfinder, etc) in the 90's.

What makes you think its specifically a problem with the auto?

i dont necessarily think its the auto,i checked the gearbox oil, nice and pink, its not slippin or anything, drives smoothly, it just takes off really slowly and is driving sluggy, it still comes on too bosst but not very hard, it hasnt been serviced in a while or ti could need a tune up im not sure just wanted to get some feedback, if i cant work it out ill take it too da mechanics but when he feeds me alotta shit i gotta have sum idea on wats going on

any help is appreciated, thankz

so all the detent solenoids ect are the same???

I know you are probably just biting there troy..

but for all replacement/service parts for these boxes I can find no revision number differences mentioned for the transmission across years (except for the latter r34 models) which would indicate subtle differences and internal parts. This checks out in FAST also.

It is possible they've stuffed the wiring or install of course..

[MANWHORE]

I reckon just change the box oil to be sure. You don't have to go all on out and buy motul atf or anyhting. just buy some cheap castrol. Shouldn't set you back more than $50. try that first. Like troy said, just in case if it's got water in it, or it's simply the wrong viscosity.

I dunno why they left it with oil in it anyway, nor why you'd trust random oil in a box anyway. For all you know, it could be used cooking oil mixed with powersteering/atf to get the pink colour.

[granca69]

okay guys let me add a few fings here, an auto transmission is supposed to have red oil, black only if its a manual, the gearbox was drained, i was the one who put the oil in the box when done, (dextron 3), the installation i dont think is a problem i think it is something else with my car, the gearbox changes gears fine as its sposed too so it cant be that,

any ideas??

Yep ATF is pink/red.

As for why its been sluggish, It could be anything from a fuel problem to your air flow meter not working right. You just have to work through it, Even your throttle position sensor may not be reading correctly. If you find a workshop manual and your handy with a multimeter you should be able to check out your sensors and see if they are within spec.
