no eye deer Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hey fellas, I have an AE 93 I think it is. 94 with 1.6 carby and 5 speed. When I change gears, the shifter sticks a bit, then releases. I'm not sure where to start. Maybe a bit of sticky oil on the plates, or something else? Doesnt shake on reverse, and its done 317km. Like -if you wanted to do a fast change- well- you have to wait until your allowed. Usually 1 second tops, but I can't race SS Commodores like that. (kidding).

Bowler Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had an issue once where it'd be a pain trying to select, or change from first gear. The issue was put down to a stuffed clutch (the disc had shattered). Changed to a new clutch, problem solved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Any idea what grade of transmission fluid the gearbox currently has in it? I believe an 80w-90w is specified for these gearboxes, but changing to a 75w-90w may help things. The fluid level when full should be even with the bottom of the filler hole when on a level surface. Another cheap/easy thing to check is between the top of the gearbox & the firewall, you'll see where the shifter cables attach to the gear selector arms. These have rubber bushes in their ends & they could be shagged, giving you a sketchy shift. An easy replacement for these rubber bushes are skateboard/roller blade bearings (yes, I'm serious) as they're cheap as chips, just check diameters etc to make sure you get the correct size.

no eye deer Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks fellas, I was looking at the selectors yesterday. They do look complicated. Thats a good idea about skateboard bearings! Have a good look next week.I will change the gearbox oil too.Next week:) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
