Hey all,

Got a sound as if i am reversing, when going forwards.. its louder in 1st and 2nd but still noticable in other gears... has only recently started to happen... wondering if anyone has had this before? Is it a busted bearing or something?

Also, when in neutral with clutch engaged (foot off the clutch) i can hear a rattle coming from the gearbox..

Your help is appreciated.... as i am so pov at the moment I'm hoping i don't have to fork out $$ on a gearbox repair or replacement!

Cheers

:D

if you put your foot ont he clutch does the rattle go away? If so its most probably the main bearing ont he input shaft, not good, but it will probably go for ages with it like that if you dont mind the noise.

Yeah it does.. but what about the whining sound? Thats got me puzzled!!

my car has had this problem for the past 2 years or so (previous owner just put up with it)

its not a big deal.. the gearbox isnt gonna go bang anytime soon

just screwed bearings... if you can put up with the annoying noise, then it will go for ages.... if not... pay big bucks to get it fixed

Its not expensive man. When rattling at idle is just the thrust bearing which is on a rod in the bell housing of your gearbox. When you get a clutch changed ask them to change that too. I did but since then its back lol. Ah well!

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
