Is My Gearbox Stuffed?

[limpus]

Gdday Fellas,

I'm getting some weird knocking sounds from my R32 gtst gearbox when accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear. Its sounds like a metallic knocking/tapping sound and it disappears once i slot it into 3rd...can someone shed some light on this for me? could it be a bearing problem or would it be the gearbox?

Cheers...

have you been giving it a hard time? if it was a bearing problem usually the sounds is there all the time except in 4th. you'd have to pull the box apart to see whats happened or just find a 2nd hand one from somewhere

does the car jerk or shake when the knocking sound occurs? and at what sort of timing is it, really fast knocking, 1 secong intervals????

Timing for the knocking is rev related...i'm pretty sure its stuffed now as i'm having problems engaging first...it has been having a harder time since the new turbo and tune...time for another box...
