Are all gearboxes noisy to an extent?


Recommended Posts

After my engine conversion I put a CWX gearbox in, this whined a lot, and also made noises when in neutral and the clutch was out.

Put the FFE box back in from my 1.0, and it's silent in neutral, but does seem to make an audible noise through the gears, relative to speed, no banging, no extremely loud noise, just a faint noise. I drove an up! and it did the same, so I'm convinced it's normal for the gearbox to make a noise that changes pitch as the car gets faster....

Obviously this is probably worse in my car as it has no carpets etc... but would you expect a box to be silent?
