so... i went out in the car tonight.. now it makes a lot of noise

these two vids are the car jacked up and me spinning one rear wheel (slowly).. in the vid from under the box i do it with my foot. it sounds like my gearbox has a bag of nails in there

 

It's academic really but which S is this? How much regular use was it getting before this? Best keep the M for now

 

Trigger of course.. my stocker is probably the best car in the world

 

You sure it's geabox and not clutch? If it's box, input shaft area or main box area??

You can split the input shaft bit from the box whilst the box is on the car - just drop the prop out and unbolt the secondary input shaft housing bit - need to unbolt the shifter housing from inside but i don't think any of it is rocket science.

 

Cheers fester didnt know it comes apart

i'll drop the oil tomorrow and then we'll know i guess?

 

Even has an oil pump !

Ahhh no i hope not!

 

It would need a car attached at that price!

haha.. i remember seeing someones money pit car at Rays with a paddles box.. that doesnt appeal to me tbh.. i love the manual and this is an analogue car with cable throttle and that rifle shift is part of it..

or was

 

I guess if you spin the back wheels with it in neutral and it makes the noise it's either the secondary shaft or output shaft, then if you start the car in neutral and it makes the noise it's either the clutch or main shaft... then if you start the car with the clutch depressed and it still makes the noise it's clutch/release bearing? 100% sure it's not the diff?

 

so i drained the diff.. bah..


magnetic diff plug.. not so healthy


then the box.. bah too!


lots of filings in the gearbox oil too (the sparkly bits)

anyone recommend diff rebuild or am i better off buying used?

box i have a suspicion it's that bearing were the prop joins, just by the sound location, i could be wrong. is it easy to get a look at that?

Grant - no noise in neutral but spinning the rear wheel can generate a clunk when the prop moves (not before)
in gear and running the noise is bad and from both ends

it's proper broke
