Whining Gearbox/flywheel

[SL33K]

had the same problem with mine for 1 year and i never did anythin about it.

Nothin happened to the car. the gears changed smooth and no probs only the whining noise exactly as everyone.

I have an issue with the whine, mainly around 70-80km/h in 4th gear (clutch in or out).

I had some crunching with 1st gear, and sometimes 3rd, went Redline lightweight shockproof (previously MT-90) and its smoother, no crunches except occasionally 1st gear, but the whine remains.

It might be a little quieter but I'm not sure, need to give it some more time.

I've had the car for 1-2years with whine, but its not driven often, no issues so far...(S3 R33 GTR gearbox)

my box whines a little in all gears, but i figured a box that can take this much punishment is aloud to have a little noise.

just open the windows or turn up te stereo and its gone, cheap fix

on a serious note though, G70 if you ahvent tryed it, and some redline, or equiv nice oil

Putting in a different oil to cover noise is a bad solution IMO...I do recommend a recondition (replacing bearings and seals) for your gearbox because the problem will just come back down the track (and it only gets worse). The bigger issue though, is if you leave it too long without replacing the bearings they can collapse and cause more damage to the rest of the gear cluster...meaning you will be up for a rebuild / go searching for a junky second hand box as opposed to just a recondition.
