Hi ppls i have a series2 rx7 with series 5 13bt with, what i believe is a series 3 or series 4-5 n/a 13b gearbox.. the problem is when the gearbox gets hot its gets very hard to get gears.. Runs fine on freeways but as soon as you get into traffic after about 20 mins of stopping and going the problem starts..Im putting series 4/5 turbo gearbox in soon so i dont want to spend to much money on it.Just looking for a temperary solution to get me by until i do the change over..Any help would be appreciated cheers

Hey, I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I haven't been logging on as often as I should...

You might want to try some different gear oil, the trans may have a problem. You may also check out the hydraulic system to make sure it's not losing pressure.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the help Ari im thinking it may be loosing pressure last night when driving it started playing up couldnt get gears then the clutch just went soft and to the floor...car started crawling forward in first gear with the clutch engaged..kept pumping the clutch then it came back ..i will change the oil and check out the hydraulic system over the weekend and get back to you on the results ..Thanks again for the help have a good one

Classic hydraulic cylinder symptoms. We generally see them fail when the seasons and temperatures change. Sounds like a master cylinder to me.

Good luck, keep me posted.
