Pig Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrpptSMTjEA Took the car out for a run today to give it some shit/testing for the dragonball and she gave in as I went from 1st to 2nd. Thankfully I wasnt far from home so I managed to reverse all the way home. The vid is showing the noise being made when you lift the clutch to drive off......BRILLIANT. BTW - If you are selling a 6 speed box, I am now in the market. P.S - Does it sound like gearbox? I cant think what else it would be seing as I am able to reverse. Note that the rattling is the clutch and has always been like that. HKS twin plate. EDIT: FOR ANYONE WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE DIFF Edited March 11, 2012 by Pig (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 My god thats a hell of a noise, Does not sound good at all. If you don't find a box in time don't worry too much, just reverse there and back you can keep us NA boys company at the back of the convoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D8MOA Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Worth looking into cost of repairing yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Worth looking into cost of repairing yours? I can't remember the thread but it was said that it is cheaper to replace rather than repair the box. Unless its fifth gear as this is the easiest to get to.

fastcar Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Sounds like it could be a bearing maybe? It dosent sound good whatever it is. I would dump the trans oil and see if there is any metal shaving in it just to rule out the gearbox. I had a calibra once upon a time and shatterd the clutch. It would go forward but would go in reverse with no problems. Not saying it will be the same for you but it would be good just rule it out:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Ouch, sounds nasty. Did you have any warning before it happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get it to a garage some time soon and have it pulled apart. Ouch, sounds nasty. Did you have any warning before it happened? Yes and no, I have been losing 3rd gear for quite a while now but when it went, it gave no warning. I changed from 1st to 2nd mid slide and it just let go.

Littler Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 "mid slide" I thought that if it had to let go it may as well happen with a bit of style Hope you get it sorted mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Jamesy could be tempted to sell his box seperate to it going with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai 20V Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Is this the Getrag 6 speed that you broke? I thought they were pretty much bullet proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Parts for the Getrag are rediculously expensive. Has synchro in 4th go on mine, with all associated bits and bobs and labour came to nearly £1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clutch is spinning in the same direction + doing exactly the same thing regardless of whether your in a forward gear or reverse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Is this the Getrag 6 speed that you broke? I thought they were pretty much bullet proof? They cope very well, but are not indestructible. Plenty of them let go if you read around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clutch is spinning in the same direction + doing exactly the same thing regardless of whether your in a forward gear or reverse? I know!! To be honest I could make sence of if it either. The clutch plate was snaped in three and shouldn't of worked at all. I doubt this is the problem here though as this sort of thing dosent happen often.

They cope very well, but are not indestructible. Plenty of them let go if you read around. I haven't read of many but it is certainly more common that people think.
