Gearbox???

[winkyc]

sorry if its off the topic but same title.

is the s2000 gearbox notchy when u change gears
or is it suppose to be smooth?


sometimes my gear change is so smooth
and sometimes it different gears its just abit notchy.
like theres something in the way.. not that i can't
push it through or anything and need force

i just want my gear change smooth everytime
but wanted to see if that was normal?

thought maybe i needed thicker gearbox oil
but prefer to use OEM oil

thicker oil isnt the way to go at all.

try use DEX3 i think its liquid gold for gearboxs

That one I linked above is $55K Yen, or approx ~$700 + post, however the cost to post it in your current need for a box renders it useless unless you plan to have the car off the road for 2 months while you wait for it to arrive by boat.

I'm surprised I haven't found one in AU for sale yet, let alone one cheap enough to warrant buying. I have come across a few engine & box for sale, may have to persuade a seller to seperate them?

There is a reason why a certain viscosity is used and/or recommended by a manufacturer, it has cause and reason. Otherwise honda would have run a thinner oil. Using a thin oil, always makes the gears mesh nicely when the box is cold, however once the gearbox heats up, the oil thins out, thus escaping bearings, which will cause more friction, more friction equals more heat, more heat equals metal expansion, metal expansion equals more load on bearings and shafts as well as an increase of gearbox temp, all adding to premature wear and possibly a potential failure.

Best you use whats recommended. Most don't have box issues running OEM gearbox fluid, unless you go F/I.

Front cut + box + diff, based in Brisbane.

I know Tamay needs a diff, and you need a box.......

I know exactly where the shop is so if you wanna give them a call see what they say I can have a look at it for you if you like?

I also know the OzH member who imported it on my MSN ; but it looks like he's sold the front cut and stuff to these guys.
