#1: gearbox whine? Author: rus18, Location: isle of wightPosted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:42 pm ---- Hey guys, iv had a whine gradually getting worse and worse my first thought was gearbox but ive been having some minor clutch issues and wondered if the clutch could be whining like this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzdodqvr_qQ

Do you have a quickshift fitted?
Have you checked your gearbox oil level/type etc?
Does it make a difference hot/cold engine?

Author: rus18, Location: isle of wightPosted: Sun Jan 27, 2013 11:50 am ---- when i press the clutch down it goes quieter but doesn't go completely when coasting at slow speeds in neutral its still noticeable. No quickshift fitted and i have changed the gearbox oil to no effect on the sound, also no difference at different temperatures thanks for the reply

Engine?

#6: Re: gearbox whine? Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:42 am ---- Does it do it in all gears?
I noticed it was when torque was going through the system so yes it could be.
'Wouldn't overhaul the whole box though just for the whine unless it's very loud & annoying.

Author: rus18, Location: isle of wightPosted: Tue Jan 29, 2013 9:36 am ---- Yeah it does it through all the gears, it used to only be when in 5th but there all screaming now lol, I think il try getting hold of a second hand gearbox, do you know if there is a way to check the diff? Thanks for all your help

+1.
Check your gear-links especialy since it started only in 5th gear.
Also check the left-hand rubber gearbox-mount because once that becomes loose, the gearbox angle changes and the gear-links are not aligned properly, even if very slightly. (This also causes a 'thud' or 'gap' when starting from standstill in 1st gear and releasing clutch quickly)
