I know what you mean Ben. Mine has been crunching into 4th for a year or so. :(

I was thinking about a short shifter but if it makes the shift harsher I am not sure I should.
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D

I'd be surprised if anyone with a 32 doesn't have the crunch .... i find a nice slow change avoids it.

I was thinking of getting one of these could be good value?

A very reasonable price if you live in Japan.
I am sure that the shipping and tax will double that :(

I am going for some of the Redline heavyweight oil to hopefully solve the dreaded GTR crunch soon so i will report back how it goes.

I used to get 4th/5th crunch in my Scooby 5spd gearbox until recently. I dropped the old oil on the advice of the guys at TSL, found some bits on the end of the magnetic sump plug and replaced with Redline Heavy Shockproof Gear oil. You can stick it in the diff as well so that's my next job...diff oil change. anyway...suffice to say....no more crunching :thumb: :D
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:
