200sx 6 speed transmission engagement issue

[caa]

Hi everyone,

I have just signed up with SOC and eagerly waiting for some expert advise.

My s15 is back on road after 1.5 years and was wondering what are the few fluids/parts/etc needs to be changed?

Also, after driving around the block for couple of hours I had a hard time engaging the gear. Being stuck in the parking I forced it to reverse gear, had a clunky noise during the process. After 1-2 hours , all gears was engaging with or without starting the car.

I have been advised to start with draining the clutch fluid and see how it goes (in process of getting it done). A bit of information on dampener (to keep or remove) would be appreciated.

Lastly, I will have to replace the front right control arm and I am thinking of replacing both with the adjustable ones (blue color). Any thoughts on this one?

Thank you very much in advance!! Looking forward to learn and exchange information.

Cheers

I had the same, crunchy gears wouldn't go into reverse at all.

sounds weird try jacking the car up back and front (alternating...jack front up as high as you can, then drop down and jack back up ) seemed to work for mine
