Ok guys ive got a poxy cp51 box thats grinding into 3rd at the moment , just wondering if anyone has a recomended oil or addtive to soften said grinding.

I was think of putting some moreys into it that shits thick.

This is just short term as ill have a new box , transfer , diff and unis in it soon.
But there is a track day coming up and id like to not have to double clutch into 3rd everytime

If the synchros are fucked I doubt thicker oil will make much difference man.

Ur probly right , it sucks coz that logger will show up soon and just bought some 720cc injectors

redline lightweight shock proof works on old boxes pretty well

It would be ok if the wifes old car sold , id have a box from Mo on the truck already. Might give that redline stuff a go , its a pretty nasty grind.
Maybe if i just keep smashin it into 3rd itll clear up haha uh a

For the couple of bottles you'll need to fill the case, you're close to buying the box haha

I tried that Nulon G70 stuff in my Skyline and it didn't really improve anything so don't bother with that.

Hmm maybe ill just take it out and practice launching till i kill it hahaha.
Got another w5 at home to put back together , but was saving that for a full on build while i just cruise on the box im getting from u Mo

I can't remember its full name mate, but wynns gearbox additive works real well. Like Mo, I have used the g70, and while no worse it didn't improve things that much really.
But the wynns additive worked well, its not gl-5 but I don't have worries with it after a few thousand lays.

Put some Castrol VMX-M into it as it was specifically made for VR4 and GSR non mech LSD transmissions. Its cheap enough and seems to work good for old gearboxes.

I have used it in a few GSR's and Proton gearboxes and it works fine.

My Nimbus transmission used to crunch bad when shifting into first gear when I first got it. I put that stuff in and it made it shift better and doesnt crunch (well rarely anyway).

A change of oil wont fix any physical issues in the gearbox, but for goodness sake, dont throw that bluey green Redline Shockproof alien blood thick snotty clumpy shit into a gearbox. That'll make it worse lol

[croket]

Yeah castrol vmx is all i use , its in it now. I think i just hurt it bafly poor cp box. Was hoping for a bandaid solution to get me on the track to put some laps down in it

[jack be nimble]

I have a gsr synchro ring here. New.
Evo-oox may know if it will fit and if you can get to it without breaking any other bearings.

Bloody double post oops , im gettin another box soon but have a track day at collie on the 16th. When you down bumbury way next jack ? You can come raid these boxes ive got , i only need some of the cases

[jack be nimble]

About 6 weeks away. If thats ok?

[croket]

Yeah mate they arnt going anywhere , your welcome to whatever bits you want

[Evo-00x]

3rd gear is on the input shaft. You need to pretty much destroy a bearing to get to it.

Its a full gearbox disassembly to do it.

[brisvr4]

No you don't Rob. You can press the whole lot off from under 3rd.
Unless you are using a wussy little press of course!
It's the bell housing end that you need to destroy to get it off.
But new bearings are a good idea whilst it's apart!
