#1: could this be a gearbox problem? Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:38 pm ---- today i put on my gt bumper and had to jack it up.
after i finished with everything i went to put my wheel back on.
as i was tightening it i had it in gear and handbrake up thinking that the wheel would stay still so i could tighten the bolt but it didnt, as i tightened the nut the wheel was moving with it and making quite a noticeable clicking noise.
could this be a gearbox problem? help and advice needed pls

It was the front wheels wasn't it?
