Daryl Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Im having more and more issues changing from 4th to 5th toward the upper reaches of the rev range,and also from 5th to 6th. When i do it ,it just seems like there is no gear there,and stick just hits a wall. I have a feeling that my clutch is on the way out,as when im reversing up my drive,on a slope,i get alot of whining from the gearbox. Just wondering what peoples thoughts where on this. Changing gears most of the time is fine through the gearbox,just seems to be from 4th onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 That sounds more like a gearbox problem than clutch. Have you tried putting it in fourth and accelerating to see if the revs shoot up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 It pulls fine in all the gears,and is not slipping. Just the whining when reversing up hill worries me abit,as does the problem when selecting 5th+6th. I can pull away in 4th gear with some revs,and although it stinks abit,is fine with that.

Maccaman Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I would definitely get the gearbox checked out then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 sounds like the synchro problem i had with mine. :pmr35lee: , he has lots of experience with this and can diagnose for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 My drives on a slope and i get the whining noise too when reversing off, i don't have trouble selecting any of the gears though. The whining noise only comes on after a while and is not instant or when reversing on a flat. I always thought it was the thrust bearing or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 350z gearboxes... Some of those symptoms sound familiar! I'd rule out the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks Alex,nice to know i have options. If i have to replace the clutch etc,id go for a lightened flywheel anyday. Im considering going for one of your Cosworth filters and brake ducts. Do you sell the pipes in pairs,or do you have a spare one laying around?

I can supply the pipe in meter lengths Daryl, but if it is for the brakes then best to do both sides mate. Drop me a pm if you want to discuss further.
