R34 Gt-t Gearbox Noise

[R-sanichi]

Hello,

I have a query about a noise in 3rd and 4th gear (it may be in all gears, but isnt notable) - after said gears are engaged and letting the clutch out and applying throttle at the same time, a groan at the length of about a second is heard. Its a deep groan, and no vibration is aparent through the stick or pedal so I dont think its the clutch. I have been told that these gearboxes are just noisy, but I'd like more opinions.

There's a slight sound when the car is idling in nuetral, and I suspect the thrust bearing - but not sure if its related.

Your thoughts and expert opinions please...

Michael.

If it is the Thrust Bearing, when you clutch in, the sound goes away. Clutch out, whirring sound comes back. The R34 GTT doesn't have noisy gearboxes. Wait till you hear the Getrags

I have this on my car. No groaning, but a constant "sshhhhh" whirring noise when I clutch out in neutral.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

I don't own the car (yet), so if I go for a second test drive, I will test with the car at idle with the clutch in/out.

Thanks.

+1 getrag plug light flywheel and twin plate clutch is awful.

OK,

But I'm just talking about a standard gearbox and clutch here...

I assume from the veiwed/posts ratio that no-one has experienced this sound?

Perhaps this car may be a risky purchase.
