Gearbox Bearing Noise

[clip14]

recently installed a heavy duty clutch to my rb25de.

I have been bedding it in by driving it work, in traffic. its pretty harsh on the road.

after one trip to work and back, there is now a bearing noise (metallic grinding noise). its not related to the clutch at all but rather to the speed of the car.

stopped there is no noise, but once you start moving, whether its in neutral or in gear, the noise is there. most noticeable at low speed.

i'm thinking maybe output driveshaft bearing? the noise does not change with gear selection, so im hoping its not anything too important.

i have a race even this weekend. is this problem going to kill my gearbox?

cheers

although i havent heard the noise in ur car it sounds exactly the same as what i have, only started a week ago after a long drive, i have and rb25de box on and rb20det, my mechanic seems to think it isnt a huge issue and is possible something to do with the gear selector. will be interesting to see how urs turns out.

by the way how do i check the gearbox oil level?? i have been looking for a dipstick or something and no luck, could even be low oil?

Would be a bearing of some kind, you should hear my box!

Sound like a straight cut!

New box is on its way though

im having an interesting situation, i dropped the cltuch a while back and peddle got stuck coming out, then could smell the organic face of the clutch burning. Now it feels slightly hard to get into second sometimes. clutch is not slipping, however peddle distance is different. I'm guessing it related to syncho's? Ideas? sorry to hi-jack thread. hame!
