Heres what happens when you lose 3rd gear - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Madden · 17th June 2008, 02:52 PM

Well i have got the box out and all in bits now what a mess. :lol:

I drained the oil out and heard loads of metal dropping out

First time i have done a gearbox rebuild and i can say not to bad at all. You have to take the tranfers box off the back and then a bit of casing. Then you just pull the whole gearset and selecter forks out in one bit.

A few pics of the mess.

All this came out in the oil

The actual gearset. It has destroyed 3rd gear and the layshaft. No teeth left on either.

And all the little bits of metal left in the casing.

So now is the descision of either a knew uprated gearset or just replace the broken bits for now?

There is a video of the car actually destroying 3rd but my mate is having trouble with his mobile.

Nice effort Madden!

Do it properly if your going to do it

Cliff J · 17th June 2008, 03:28 PM

I have some real strong glue if you need it

Might not completely fix the gears but you can get real high and forget about your bad luck mate

looks more like automatic transmission oil or is it just me?

Madden · 17th June 2008, 04:25 PM

Its redline heavy shockproof. Right nasty stuff to clean up

Good on you for going at it yourself. I remember when my third gear blew. Looked just like that but I opted for a whole new tranny from AutoGallery Yokohama. Just pulled the old one off and stuck the new one in.

How did it fail pal? I remeber my old GTR had an awful crunch on the syncros from 3rd to 4th. But nothing that resembled your 'mess'!!
