i checked the linkage and it aint the problem.

I did my oil half a year ago and first with a ..W80 or 90 if im correct and it didnt shift very well. People told me it was better to use W75 and now its shifts much better...

Ill get back on this when i have the exact nummers ...W...

Hmm,

The important bit for Hachi's is that the oil isn't GL5 but GL4 oil. GL5 has some additive that eats away the synchros, atleast so I've been told.

No idea if this also goes for the AE92...

i wouldent know. but i guess that after i take out the "box" to check things out i'll replace the oil with GL4. thanks guys.

ok, so i havent yet takin it apart to check it all out. but now ALL the gears are messed up. the clutch pedal is hard to push in now. it wont go into 1st, 2nd is real hard to get it into, and when i take off (in second) there is a whining, scraping sound. also if i have the clutch pedal pushed in while it is in gear, in tryes to take off on its own as if i were letting off the clutch.


does anyone have any idea whats goin on? maybe my clutch is going out?

Yup.... sure sounds like your clutch is fcuked !!!!!

But first, check that the clutch slave cylinder isn't seized. Check there
is fluid in the clutch reservoir... look for leaks... get someone to work
the pedal while you are under the car watching the slave. If it does
not move freely back and forwards, replace the slave. If that doesn't
cure the problem....

Get under there and get the gearbox out... while you are replacing
the clutch you can spin the gearbox by hand and see if it jams up in
the gears. If so, it will need to be stripped and repaired.
