| update on my side, i drained all the fluid from the clutch MC and flushed it out then bled it and took it for a test run, seems to be working wayyy better but still a lil iffy sometimes, wayyy better than b4 tho, will keep an eye on the fluid to see if it goes black again quickly. once i get the time, i will be changing all my oils sooooon, going with amsoil as recommended by many, including W2J |

| janfar,well so far, fluid still good. i realise when i now start the car tho and now start to drive, the gears go in smooooth but after about a 10mins of some driving, my 3rd gear goes in a lil crunchy.....gearbox oil need changing? when the oil gets hot it gets thin since its worn out? if it was the syncro for 3rd, would it not be giving the same crunchy shift even when the car now starts to drive? |

Hmmm, when the oil gets hot it would begin to loose some of its viscous properties. Wonder if thats the problem. Also wonder if you would get the same prob with the Amsoil. I remember reading on the 321 forums that they used a Molyslip lube together with the oil to keep the synchros well lubed.
Some input from W2J and sanctifier would be nice right about now. |

janfar,i know w2j recommends amsoil, he uses it on his ride also but dunno if "due to age and wear and tear" my situation might need "extra" attention/help?
i guess ill have to give the amsoil a try. but would it be the syncros if it doesnt grind while the car is "cold" ? or if is syncros it will always grind, no matter hot or cold. |

the operating range would be sufficent but not very many oils would be a cure in a bottle for good ole mechanical repairs
btw row, what oil weight u gonna use? |

Dave,really not an expert on GB oils, right now im running belray in it tho, grade recommended by mechanic. gonna give the amsoil recommended by gerard a try when i get the time to change all.
im just thinkin its a oil prob since the gears shift flawless while the car is cold but when it gets a lil heated, it starts givin a lil grind when going into third. |

| Yeh, i prefer the original front as well. I just had to go with these cause i didnt like the aquarium the left taillight was making when rain fell. The OEM are too expensive here. I paid 1700 shipped from Singapore back in 07 when i got it. |

| i was thinking abt changing the back but not too sure if i want to but the front i wanna change as the xenon headlight will be perfect for keeping my hid's focused... even though with the OEM they weren't all over... next reason for changing the fron is cuz both my original are damaged & wont stay in place as only 1 screw holding them lol |

| Well for one, im guessing the rating for max torque on the GSR box may be lower on than that of an evo box. Why not buy an evo box and tcase and done. |

| well i was just thinkin, since the (correct me if wrong) gsr box would allow more top end, if i modded the 63, it wouldve made up for the less max torque loss and balanced off to be a nice combo. |

| Maybe out of the US DSM eclipse that carried the 4G93T engine. Go up on DSMforums and check them out. |

| I used to say that i will never sell it until my bank account started to bleed by the thousands per day. I giving it one last shot at redemption with this FU engine that i acquired yesterday. Have that installed and once she gives me a month of only gas input i will be on. In the mean time, who could get the timing belt kit for me. |
