Hey guys
This noise has been coming from my gearbox area for quite some time now, and i've finally had it, ive put up with it long enough. This was recorded with my phone right at the gearstick, as I rolled at about 15km/h.
The noise seems to be directly linked to the motion of the wheels. Whilst the car is moving, the noise is making, no matter what gear (even in neutral) and no matter if the clutch is engaged or not. As the car rolls to a stop, the noise disappears, and is silent on idle.
Youll notice the noise doesnt really change in intensity as i accelerate either...
Any thoughts? Its bugging me no end!!!! Ive read up till the cows came home on input shaft bearings, thrust bearings, etc etc - what about the tailshaft? Could this explain why its linked to the movement of the car?
Cheers
Andrew
**Update, just did some testing and the noise is NOT audible when the car is reversing.....**
