If u hear the sound of bov when u step on the clutch...

[alastabesta]

how do u change the clutch...?
is there like a step-by-step instruction on how to change one...?

yeah its called "if you dont know what your doing get a pro to do it "
as for this hole in the gearbox where is it located?? if its only into the clutch area (get a plate for it, dosn't take much to tap 4 holes and stick a piece of steel over it to stop stones etc getting into it.) it might have nothing to do with the raunching of the gears etc.

first thing i would do is bleed the clutch system and go from there as celica_tommo said, look for leaks also THEN start looking at the more $$ things.

Are you sure it has a hole in it? I thought my old one had a hole where the bellhousing met the engine at the bottom of the box but I took a look at another one and it was exactly the same so must just be the shape of the housing. This was a facelift ae101 gt-apex so it has the same box as yours.

I think most gearboxes have a rectangle chunk out of the bottom to let water, oil, transmission fluid out pressumably

[alastabesta]

just got the mechanics to take everything apart and now its confirmed that the clutch is doing fine and no problem at all apart from excessive wear but the actual g/box is pretty much f**ked up

would anyone know anything about fitting a bzr g/box into bzg? would the 6speed fit into where the old gearbox sits? or would I need some modification to "make it fit"? I tried searching for it but couldn't find one but I'm sure theres ppl who's done it before...(hopefully.. )

thank you all

oh forgot to ask, how much would i be looking at for both 5speed and 6speed g/box?

you have to change your shift clabes and your shifter to change to the 6speed apart from that it's a straight swap

what are you gonna do with the old box?

[alastabesta]

i duno - if anyone wants it its urs for free...?

condition - damaged. lol

tho i duno how i'm gona carry the g/box home... so prob if u pm me with ur cell phone number and i'll txt u soon as the mechanics give me a buzz to pick up the car?
