Gear Box Grinding Noise At Adle In Netural

[Cubes]

If there's no spigot it doesn't matter, the box is stuffed. It will be noisy in all gears and if driven the damage will send vibrations through the car.

i put redline in the damn thing, and it seems to make some difference. After a while it got better to the point there is mainly bearing noise in 4th gear at 2500, and when decellerating in any gear.

It sucks balls driving with the noise. It'll feel like a new car when i get the bearings finally replaced

Bl4ck32..

I think you have got used to it. But as you said once we replaced the spigot it did improve slightly from what it was.

I jump in it and its still damn noisy in every gear, I can even feel it in reverse.

A bit like my old rb20t box, I didn't realise how bad it was until it finally let go and was replaced with a quiet box. Feels like a new car.

Seriously don't drive it.

If its still quiet pull the box out and drop a spigot bush in there.

Its not worth the risk of ruining a perfectly good box for a $2 part.

[PHATR32]

its not the $2 part, its the work thats a pain in the ass

[Cubes]

Indeed it is.

Either way it has to come out if there's no spigot or it WILL stuff the box.

No if's no buts.

dam it!

why didnt the shop manual show the bush?
