TRD3000GT Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Damn, I have just had the rattling diagnosed as several things! I have had,, its the flywheel, Ive also had its in the Gearbox, and Ive also had its the Idle bearing. I have no idea which it it so back up to JPS to have it looked at soon. If it is the gearbox or the idle bearing does anyone know where I can get the box repaired?? I dont want to shell out £6000 for a new box thats just crazy. Ive heard of refurbs costing £300 but dont know where to go. HELP> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 That makes 2 of us:) Mine is going in this week to be looked at and have the clutch done. I will let you know if they find a rattle snake or something;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Its normally the flywheel that rattles? I doubt your 'box is knacked unless you've given it some real abuse. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 ok, had the car up on a lift. Noise goes when I depress the clutch pedal. So its either the F.W the clutch plate ( I doubt ) or the gearbox. When looked at today it sounded like the gearbox, just behind the pressure plate. Someone suggested it was the idle bearing was shot? Is this possible ? who is the best person to have a look at this for me ?? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Have a look on http://www.boostlogic.com i'm sure they do a upgrade. I know they do a upgrade for the NA 5 speed where you replace a few parts inside the Tranny and it can withstand 800bhp or something stupid like that.

Scooter Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Am I the only one who just waits for something to stop working before I get too concerned. From what i've read here the gearbox is almost indestructable, and plenty of people have replaced flywheels and bearings etc to reduce their noises. But also people put in lightweight flywheels that rattle, so whilst I accept a standard car rattling is a sign of wear, should we be particularly concerned by a little noise if the gearboxes operation is fine?

Willson Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 from http://www.mkiv.com/faq/faqtt.html#transmission3 3. my 6-speed transmission makes a rattling sound at low speeds – should i worry? all supra 6-speeds seem to make that sound, which has been likened to shaking a bunch of ball bearings around in a coffee can. it is not a cause for alarm - all the 6-speeds make the sound. it is the flywheel damping springs rattling, not the design of the transmission dogs. if your transmission shifts smoothly and doesn't pop out of gear, don't worry about it.

far Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I get the same noise also on ignition off as well as slow speeds - if I depress the clutch and turn the ignition off it is not present - it hasnt got any worse and hasnt caused any detromental affects on the operation of the gearbox - I was told by others that its nothing to worry about - im gonna try and find that thread:conf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul No offence, but, the NA 5 Speed couldn't be further removed from the 6 speed Getrag unit. Not worth comparing. Its the flywheel. Just get a new Toyota one. They are fairly cheap and at least you know it will work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I wasn't comparing the two mate, just letting him know that Boostlogic do uprated Transmission parts for the supra gearbox, instead of replacing it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Chris all 6 speed boxes are noisey but strong. Are you saying it didn't do it before either clutch change. I know tha Suprastore supplied you with a brand new OEM FW so it shouldn't be that. It may be the RPS clutch plate. I honestly wouldn't worry.

TRD3000GT Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 Terry, problem is that it is not just a light chatter, it can get very loud! I was told that when I go back to OEM flywheel everything would be solved but that does not seem to be the case. Anyway I have just spoken to Leon and he is going to have the car in next week and fix the problem. The reason this needs to be done is because I am selling the car after christmas and need everything Perfek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 It does sound suss, but it may well be a bad clutch plate or pressure plate causing the noise. I am sure it's not box related. Gaz you a Copper:innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 Well Terry, I hope leon can find the problem and help me out. I feel bad for Lee as I have had nothing but bad luck with clutches and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
