When my clutch is out somethging is making a whining noise, but when clutch is in I think the whining noise goes away.

But when I put the clutch in when in neutral I get a rolling, tapping noise. I only ever get this noise in neutral

Anyone got any ideas, the whining noise is starting to shit me.

I think that the sound that you are hearing is from the clutch bearing. When you have the clutch in neutral the fingers of the clutch might be just scraping on the bearing. And when u push the clutch in, it (bearing) engages with the fingers n stops slipping on them.

I have a similar problem in my subaru. I put a new clutch in but i think i stuffed up by not putting enough grease on things. The clutch bearing seems to be still touching the fingers of the clutch when i have the car in neutral. I can;t seem to change it cos if i losen off the clutch cable i can't get enough throw to disengage it.

Don't take this as gospel. It is just my ideas.

Yep sounds like gearbox input shaft bearing, Unfortunately its a common problem in the skyline boxes.

Best way to diagnose is park car in shed/ garage, start car, gearbox in neautral and listen for

Grumbling bearing noise (sometimes whirring) Then press the clutch pedal in. If noise goes away it indicates the Input shaft bearing in the gearbox, if Noise still there its the throw-out bearing of the clutch. Hope this helps, Have found redline Shockproof oil works wonders in these boxes to. Should change gearbox oil at least every 40 000km.

I definetly got the whirring noise in neutral, is it real bad, get it fixed straight away?

It happen to mine about 10 months ago. A throw out bearing. The gearbox guy said it does no harm you just have to put up with the noise, to fix it is a major rebuild. He put some redline oil in it and told me to come back when the box shits itself from somthing else, away i went. And yeah the redline oil does not stop the noise, just better gear changes. :D

Hey I just started to have this happen to me, can anyone confirm this needs a major gearbox rebuild? How much damage is it doing? (Getting kind of paranoid cause of the GOR cruise in 2 freaking days)

I'm sure mine is the input shaft bearing too. Started making noise after a spirited drive, hilly stuff.

It only got rebuilt last year with new stuff, but it is take 2x stock HP.

Still annoying that it happened. Hasn't seemed to get worse though and doesn't make noise when coasting along or deccelerating, or when pushing in clutch sitting still.

in my experience its gonna be different for every gearbox i pulled mine apart recently and the counter shaft bearing in the carrier plate was farked but input shaft bearing was ok.

i had the same problems as everyone else though, mine just got really really loud so i swapped it

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
