Warner001 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Gearbox started grinding into 6th, usually when changing from 4th to 6th.. Unless I really guide the stick into 6th it grinds, really not ideal when you come up against a vxr and fancy a race.. Don't like it knowing that I might not be able to get into 6th gear at high speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it knowing that I might not be able to get into 6th gear at high speeds 140mph+ races Common Z fault from 4th to 6th.....recondition job only unfortunately! If its only 4th to 6th that's a problem I wouldn't be too worried but 5th to 6th is a bigger issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warner001 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yeah I'm not to worried tbh, thought it might be a common issue as a friend has pretty much the exact same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 There's less pull in 6th than in 5th so unless you're on a 2km long straight hitting the speed limiter you don't need 6th Anyway, yea, common issue, about £500 to replace the synchromesh plus removal and fitting if the box.

Hooch Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I did notice it happen once when I went into 6th, nothing since though. Edited September 3, 2016 by Hooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Same issue Hooch. If you rev match when changing gear it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteman35 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The best way of doing a gearbox is having a seperate one to get recondioned. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/74989-350z-gearbox-and-fly/#entry1121021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Stick some molyslip in it and see what happens. And don't rush the gear box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) It was quite a quick change, not sure on the speed, it was on private roads Edited September 3, 2016 by Hooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
