Hey people,

Hoping someone can help me out.

When starting up my car I have noticed a rattle coming from the gearbox.

It is a bit of a weird description but it sounds kind of like a paper clip or a small coin in the dryer.

After it warms up it gets a lot quieter but is still there. It is not the input shaft bearing as the noise is there all the time regardless of when the clutch is in or out.

I have never heard it from inside the car though, you can only really hear it from outside.

Also at really slow speeds like driving around car parks and pulling out of the drive way letting the clutch out there seems to be a whining grind but it is not all the time.

I know the clutch is pretty heavy duty however I am not sure what it is as the guy I bought the car off told me he couldn't remember what it was but he paid around 2500 to have it put in and it is very heavy.

I have no problems with gear shifts and it never slips.

If anyone had some ideas about what it could be I would appreciate it.

Cheers,

Andy

The thrust bearing is the one that changes sound with the clutch in or out. I myself have a similar noise from the gearbox, but ive got a damaged second gear syncro and the input shaft bearing is going.Take it to a specialist if your worried by the noise, they should pick up what it is. Otherwise leave it, if you drive it sedately it may not get any worse, or if like me you drive it hard you may worsen it, 8 months on im pulling my box back out to get it rebuilt. Goodluck

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
