dude.. i'm sure it wasn't your low clutch.... here's my 3rd gear as well.. from unsprung copper discs.. the box just can't take it. this is how you destroy a box

^^ yea the 3rd gear seems to be the gear that always goes in those fwd lsd sr boxes

Excuse mih for asking a noob question, but what about your driving style can cause gear damage like that?

Postby **dry** » November 22nd, 2006, 9:17 am

when you grind a gear in, it's those teeth rubbing together. hard shifting with an unsprung disc will contribute to it because the teeth take all the initial load (normally the clutch springs dampen it).

Oh I see. This has happened to me a couple times in the Ranger. I hope it didn't damage the g/box too bad. How do you know when it's really worn badly or starting to go? Is it difficult to select that particular gear when it's worn? The rest of gears work normally?

How do you drive to the mechanic with such a g/box? Do you skip the malfunctioning gear?

sigh stock honda clutch and gearbox

4 year dexing

sighh allyuh nissan men sigh

i fed up talk to dry

wah you think he driving a sir now for?

Postby **dry** » November 22nd, 2006, 9:26 am

it'll either break or not. even if you screw up the edges a bit from a bad shift, the constant meshing of the gears will machine the gears smooth. problems shifting would usually be due to the synchros going bad (the thin bronzish gears in the pics).

most times you can just skip the broken gear. in my case, it took the input shaft out too so i only had 5th... sometimes.

So then, what prevention methods are there for this type of problem?

Shifting slowly to ensure clutch engagement and proper gear engagement?
Double clutching?

Postby **MadCrix** » November 22nd, 2006, 9:32 am

boy jsut drive normal nah
if it break fix it if not jsut drive

doh stress over sheit like dat

Postby **dry** » November 22nd, 2006, 9:35 am

yeah... is not a problem. doh stress. you won't break gears unless you have too much power and metal fatique steps in, or you have a habit of grinding gears in at full throttle.

double clutching is for if you don't have synchros. just drive.

My engine moves alot due to the size of the car, could the engine and gear box moving when iam shifting cause or have any part to play in this? cause i would hate to change the box and go fooling around and it happens again...
