Do you have the noise in second only, or is it with the second gear onwards?

You may have lunched second gear.

Do you give the car shit often?

Did you have a major miss going into second?

A few more details would help us give you a better opinion.

If you put your foot into the clutch and end up with a whirring noise, it'll more than likely be the throwout bearing. But this doesn't explain the second gear anomaly.

I hope it all turns out well for you, but keep us posted of the prognosis.

I think I have a similar problem to you Humbla. I just put the Redline Lightweight Shockproof Gear Oil in my R34 GTT.

I've been having a grinding noise when dropping down gears at higher revs eg. 60km/h into 2nd makes a grind, 110 into 4th grinds, 3rd grinds when I shift up from 2nd at higher revs...

I changed gear box oil to see if the problem would go away but it hasn't :S I think it may be clutch related though as the grind can be felt through the clutch pedal when releasing it and the gear engages. You can also kinda feel it in the gear knob as well when you go into the gears. Only happens at higher revs...

Could it be the clutch or thrust bearing??

Any help would be awesome!!

All fixed,had spigot bearing and thrust bearing replaced,good as new.
