I really thought things would get better for me after getting a new Gearbox and clutch.

Basically what is happening is this .

1. On idle The gearbox isnt making any noises (clutch out )

2. On idle the gearbox still isnt making noises (clutch in )

3. Reving the engine past 2500rpm standing still or driving in any gear i can hear this Tremendous annoying whiiirrrrring metal to metal type noise and the gearstick vibrates slightly.

4. Clutch isnt slipping .

5. Brand New Xtreme DCBHD clutch and pressure plate

New Thrust race bearing installed

2nd hand RB20 gearbox

All new seals on box .

Spiggot bush remained , as it didnt look to bad .

Also had the Flywheel machined to suit .

The car has done about 200kms since i put it in and hasnt sounded like its goin away.

Ive read up in other threads about wierd noises that it could be my Thrustrace Bearing. (maybe they installed it wrong ?) But im not totally sure about this.

I really dont want to pay any more money for someone to fix it as the shop who put it in should fix it i beleive .

If anyone can shed some light on my situation i would be very greatful . I wouldnt think all this New stuff would cause so much issues :) .. Also not sure if its because my clutch is a Ceramic Cushined button clutch and is supposed to make them noises .

I have also noticed a slight drop in Acceleration gain (power loss) but maybe its just me, but i swear i could hook it around the same round about with the same throttle and cross it up more then i did the other day with my old Excedy HD clutch .

THanks again!

Nathan

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
