Did you install the engine with the trans in the car?

bogaabogaa · 01-10-2015, 03:44 PM

pulled the engine and trans from a well running car and swapped it in another same year 240 then noticed she started to grind

Did you drive the donor car first?
Did you ever have the new trans off of the engine?
Did you put fluid back in it?
Is the fluid level correct?
Could you bother to provide us with ANY information???

I owned the donor car for a few months had no problems
the engine and trans was pulled from the car together and neveroff the engine
yes replaced all fluids before i drove the car and fluids are at the correct levels
what type of information do you need?
thanks for the help

what fluid did you use? you can't use GL5 fluids on our cars. that'll eventually f-up the synchros

try adjusting ur clutch pedal under the dash. sounds like its not fully disengaging so u need more travel at the slave by adjusting clutch master pushrod length at pedal under dash for more travel. the 2 cars pedals probably were adjusted differently for different clutches and/or wear

welcome

Did you replace the throw out bearing?

and did you brace your transmission with a good/new rubber mount?

Our transmissions take gl-4 fluid.

^^ This. GL5 will cause syncro issues as the additives cause corrosion on Nissan bronza syncros.

Its too early for that in this situation though. Check fluid level first and foremost. And unfortunately you may have a syncro issue..
