AAARGHH my gearbox gave up!! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

wheely · 2nd July 2009, 05:08 PM

was over taking today,and at 5000rpm it felt like the clutch went.

pulled over as i couldnt drive (slipping clutch like feeling).

switched it off for while then started her up again,had warning lights an transmission light is flashing

so i managed to limp home with only 1st,3rd and 5th gears.

CPR are collecting it tomoz.

Im really glad i havnt taken a shine to the R35!

wheely - sorry to hear its broken again but by the sounds of it, it just sounds like a solonoid issue which i think can be repaired rather than just replacing the tranny & whilst its out just get the PPG first gear set thrown in aswell, and then launch it like the space shuttle

Is this an import R35?

Get the trans oil checked out in it as i saw a thread on here recently and the guy claimed there wasnt any tranny oil in there when he and a mechanic split the box open to look inside

well thats true unless there was a faulty sensor but what are the odds. Maybe its a faulty solenoid as ive read of a few in the US going/sticking due to cooked oil clogging it up.

i have done 8k since owning it, its 08 unsure month model??

can you share something on this?

Some have got away with a transmission fluid change in this situation, flushing out metal/debris that has blocked the solenoid as Scrappy said.
