Rb20 Box Noise When Changing Up Through Gears

Hey, I've searched the forum, can't find a relevent thread so I'd really appreciate a diagnosis here... THANKS!

I've got an RB20det and box in a Gazelle (s12) and have always changed pretty tamely, and as far as I know the box only has around 100K k's on it.

Issue:

When changing up through the gears (accelerating) a WHIRRRR noise can be heard (and vibration felt in the shifter) just before the stick goes into the next gear. If I wait for the engine revs to drop below 1.5k then the gear goes in straight away with no whirr but if i change at revs above that in ANY gear, the noise can be heard.

- This doesnt happen when down shifting, I can even downchange at 5k without double clutching and it's fine.

- it's only when upshifting.

As this is a custom install, it's going to be an absolute prick to get the box out again so if there is any chance this is a simple fix or something so major that I might as well just drive to to its death, then replace the lot later then I'd prefer that (i actually have a spare box in Melb which will go in next I suppose, but im now in syd and have no time or money for a while)

As you can tell, I know absolutely nothing about gearboxes...never really had any issue with them in any of my cars.

Cheers and thanks again!

Nick

      Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.

      The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.

      Welcome.  Here's what I have noticed about forum vs FB..... FB; seems to be wallet racing, and the same few questions asked over and over. There *may* be some groups that are closer knit, but most have changed for the worse. SAU; unfortunately, no longer in its glory days. But....genuine people with similar interests. Not all about how much you spent and saying you dont have enough power. Sooooooo much knowledge available. Have personally seen people post up about literally topics I made myself, asking on FB like no one has done it before. Most has been done, and most of that is here.   If you ever feel like just general chatting theres the wasteland.  Other interests are also generally covered in other areas of the forum. Hope you enjoy hanging around. We would love to have you.   P.s. nice 32 馃榾

      Nah, natural progression is euro. Because, we're all gluttons for punishment. And, what's more punishing than euro?
