The Skyline Shed - Third Gear Repair Service to suit RB Turbo Manual 5-Speed Transmission

At the Skyline Shed we offer extensive gearbox rebuilds, from simple refurbishment to replacement of broken gears and complete gearset upgrades to support up to 1000hp. If you are interested in anything to handle over 500hp reliably, we request you check out our PAR gearset option here and if you require a service of your functioning gearbox, we recommend our TSS gearbox service which you can find here.

Lets talk about the process:

Upon arrival, your gearbox is disassembled and given a complete industrial grade steam wash with anti corrosive additives. Once the components are clean, a complete inspection will follow for any damage, excessive wear or hairline cracks. If there is any damage or excessive wear, you will be notified. At additional costs we have the ability and parts on hand to replace worn or damaged components such as gears/selectors/shafts etc etc.

If given the all clear, the 3rd and 4th gears setup is removed and replaced entirely with brand new OEM Nissan components direct from Nissan Japan, this process also upgrades the older style synchro setup to the newer design which does away with the fiddly synchro clips known to fall off and land at the bottom of the gearbox causing horrible gear changes. The S3 GTR gearboxes have a much more robust design for their 3rd and 4th gear which utilizes large slotted key ways to stop the synchros moving out of line compared to the thin clips in the old design.

The gearset is given a brand new countershaft and a brand new offset design input shaft to suite the new 4th gear. The 3rd gear synchro is also upgraded to a triple piece ring which makes for much smoother and easier shifts. Finally, the gearset is given new bearings/seals/synchros/gaskets accordingly and is then assembled/installed into steam cleaned and painted gearbox housings ready for pickup or delivery. A final examination and bench test is always conducted prior to handing your gearbox back to you for peace of mind.
