LUKEY BOI Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 mine whines when i depress the clutch fully to the floor i just ignore it atm mne also whines allot in 1st gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnykell1980 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 does it do it in all gears? operating the clutch make any difference? could be the release bearing tend to be able to hear them when your stationary and press and release the clutch pedal. ive never taken the box out of one but doubt it will have a spigot bearing so wont be that. if its when your driving along and the noise changes depending on what gear your in or is more apparent in a certain gear i think you will have an internal bearing problem.

blueninja66 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 cheers for the replies guysthe whine is only in motion and in all gears, with the clutch out and in 5th, if i go on and off the gas you can hear it on acceleration and decellaration.it also gets louder the more load i put on the engine, say if im in 3rd and come off the gas, it will whine until i come to a complete stop.i understand this aint gonna be a cheap fix, nothing ever is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Might just be your synchromesh trying to match the gearbox and engine to the same speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnykell1980 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 unfortunately looks like the box needs stripping or you could look for another box to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueninja66 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 replaced the clutch today, no oil in the gearbox and a rattling release bearing.new bearing,clutch,clutch cable and some oil in the box..........its like a new un!cheers for the help again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I would be worried why there was no oil in the box as they are a sealed unit! Keep an eye on that mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
