Gearbox Click

[jko_one]

My gearbox has a loud clicking noise when it's changing from 1st to 2nd (under acceleration)

and from 3rd to od (when pulling off throttle) and going into reverse.

Cant hear it in the car only when the window is down

Don't know if it's serious because its still changing gears freely

keen to find out what it is so i can nip it in the bud

Check your fluid levels - both gearbox and ATTESA levels, get under the car and poke around for leaks namely coming from the main output shafts and other things that bleed.

all levels good and no leaks that i can see ???

Mine does the same thing. Is it when you accelerate after changing gears?

And likewise, all fluids are fine..?

[jko_one]

is now clicking on all gear changes throttle or no

I would be going and seeing an auto trans place pronto if it's doing it all the time now because it sounds like a problem and it's getting worse.

In the meantime i'd suggest that you limit where you drive the car.

I get a click from stationary to slight acceleration in 1st gear only

only ever since the shift kit was installed

no issue IMO

Yeah I've been driving mine for quite some time with the click. Was a bit worried about it at first, now it's just an annoyance..

Ended up being a loose cv joint in the rear right (when jolted, would click)

not the gearbox after all

got it fixed for free during a gear box service

got a transfer case refill as well (0.5L!!) with no clear leak

Ahhhh ok. Mine has been doing this for ages and I just stopped taking notice as nothing seemed to be affected. I had a feeling it might have been a rear C.V or something as the noise only have from the rear. Mind you it only does it when I'm reversing or just taking off in 1st under light throttle and then thats it, don't hear it again. Seems like a pretty easy fix then
