gearbox bearing?

[Mr GTS4]

i have a noisy bearing ( i think ). well in netural with the clutch out you can hear it, also in all the gears when driving except 4th gear.

which bearing would it be and why is making a ratchet? it hasn't changed in about 6 months and doesn't seem to be getting worse.

i'm looking at getting a gtr gearbox later on but will nulon G70 help the noise at all?

or do you know anyone that has a GTS4 gearbox in good condition.

Thanks guys

Sounds like ur thrust bearing. i have a similar issue with my car but aint bothering me. I was told by a mechanic that i should be good for another 10000kms. I will wait til the clutch goes as well and do it all together.

All depends on how bad it sounds. If its not too loud, just wait til you put the new gearbox in. Or put in thicker oil but you might put more pressure on the gearbox.

good luck

well i had the thrust bearing and the throw-out bearing replaced with the HD GTR clutch i got put in. but i got a price of $300 for labour to re-bearing the box so i might got that way and then i will know what condition it in.

If the whinning sound goes away in 4th sounds like a layshaft bearing had the same problem with my old GTR.

[Mr GTS4]

how much did it cost you to get fixed?

got the exact problem, wasnt clutch or bearing coz got them fixed and still there, mechanic told me its the bearing on the driveshaft or something, he said it wont do major damage on mine atm but mine only sounds grindy in 1st or 2nd and its not too loud...

reason for that happening to mine, when i 1st got the car i took it to the dealer where i bought it for a clutch change (under warrenty) when he drained the gearbox oil he forgot to replace it so i drove from sydney to wollonong without it not knowing...consumer affairs got involved the dealer doesnt do imports no more and the mechanic dissapeared b4 we could go for compensation...

in the end i got a bad gearbox and the work was not under warrenty...

cheers...ben.

[Mr GTS4]

that sucks! what car you driving?

I have an input shaft bearing problem. Basically got a nice whine to the box when the foot is off the clutch and in neutral. Added Nulon G70 and it did stuff all for the noise... Its been like this for 2 years, and I havent had any hiccups yet...

[Mr GTS4]

ok... well i'm going to install a GTR box so i don't think i'll have any problems with it breaking on the RB20DET.. hehehe..

just have to find someone that will install it for a good price in brisbane. anyone?
