ChrisDrift Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Hi, I think the 3rd gear syncro is on its way out in the 6MT in my 2003 DE, but going to check the linkage and change the oil etc tomorrow to see if that helps. If it turns out it is indeed the syncro that's gone though, I figured I should start looking around for a decent condition CD009 gearbox as I want to get this sorted and get the car back on track ASAP. Had a look around online but the best I could find was one in denmark and the ad didn't fill me with confidence. Anyone know of anywhere I can get hold of a CD009 in the UK? The car is going to get a lot of abuse so not willing to replace it with another original gearbox - only interested in CD009 (or perhaps CD009 internals that I can get installed in my box, but I assume that ends up just as expensive and more time consuming than buying a complete CD009 box).

Half tempted to just buy a 2006 350Z and take the gearbox out of it, then sell the engine and body panels etc separately to make some of the money back.

ChrisDrift Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Couldn't find one quick enough so ended up buying a 2006 car to rip the gearbox off (and then I'll eventually fix my gearbox and put that on it and sell it). Managed to buy the car, get the gearbox off it, take the gearbox off mine, replace the clutch and flywheel, and get the new gearbox on mine in the last couple of days. Now just having a nightmare bleeding the clutch line, but hopefully once that's done it should be all good to go drifting next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
