Gear Box Problems

[Zdenko]

when im in not in gear sitting in my drive way . i can hear a rattle type of sound u can even say a scrapping noise coming from my gear box direction , when i put my clutch down the sounds go away

is this normal or is my gear box goin out the window...

im not experiancing any problems while driving all gears go smooth and i dont experiance any slipping at all

am i in for big problems or am i just paraniod?

any body have or had the same problem

[(B1) MR_fanny]

ive got the same prob........mechanic said it was the bearings/clutch bearings....i guess i ride the clutch at the lights too much...note to myself...no more riding clutch

[inark]

interesting... dont think i'll ever stop that... oh well... new clutch soon enough anyway

My mates old Kinga HZ wagon had the same problem, what had gone wrong was the Thrust bearing in the gearbox was F*&ked. Doesn't cost much to replace, I would fix it before the bearing goes to pieces and stuffs the g/box (busted bearing pieces in a g/box aint a good thing). I was told its from loaing it up on take offs too much, might be wise to try and get someone to beef it up a bit?
