Josh42 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi all, I was just looking for someone to confirm my suspicions before taking it to a gearbox specialist. The symptoms are: Gearbox has a general loud hum whenever the car is running In 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th this noise gets worse. In 4th it does not. In 3rd at the top of the rev range, the box feels very jumpy and unsmooth. Does this sound like typical layshaft issues? How much should I be looking at for a refurb roughly? Any traders on here offer the service? Cheers Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sounds like the right symptoms to me, may cost a fair bit to refurb the box. Maybe drop CW a line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 These guys are great with gearboxes - I've used them myself. They can strip your gearbox and rebuild if necessary.

Chris Wilson Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Layshafts turn all the time, so I would suspect mainshaft personally. N/A boxes usually cost more to fix than replace with a good used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
