Gearbox Noise

[Trick 1]

Is it the release or throwout bearing makes the rumbling type noise when the clutch is engaged?

 

ie. when i dip the clutch the sound goes?

 

If so, how difficult/expensive is this job to fix?

no that'll be the input shaft bearings.

Personally would of said its more likely to be the thrust bearing, which comes with a clutch kit.

 

Did you get a new clutch when you had the conversion done?

Mine's always rattled, stops when you press the cltuch in, it's usually just the thrust bearing vibrating on the input shaft.

Thrust bearing - thats the one i was trying to remember. Heard the sound before and i was told that was the fault.?

I assumed it would of been changed when i had the new clutch when the conversion was done - but maybe not...does it tend to be standard practice to change it?

 

how do i tell if its just vibrating against the shaft, or if it needs changing?

if its a rumble then its the input shaft bearings, if its a whine then its the clutch release bearing

Its worth checking the gearbox hasn't come loose from the block too.

If your box is getting replaced, all will be come clear when its out

just what i thought

i have had a similar problem with both being worn

if you release the clutch so you can hear the noise

then depress the clutch until the higher pitch noise goes(if there is one ) if not then the inout bearing

i have both noises when the clutch is half depressed the main bearing stops and all u can hear is the thrust washer

the thrust washer is a higher pitch and the gearbox a lower more rumbling rattle noise
