Mate of mine has bearing noise in 2,4 and reverse gears. We were thinking on pulling the thing apart and having a look, but a gearbox is likea pandoras box if you havent done it befor it could be a problem.thanx in advance
You have to bust a few bearings to open it u p, like drill them out or break them or whatever it is, so you must know which parts to replace to put it back together Doesn't sound like fun...
That sounds suspiciously like the shifter rubber boot is lifting up in the gears which the shifter is 'back' for, and allowing noise to enter the cabin. Try checking this before launching into a gearbox removal.
I know what you mean but it sound really bad, i put my money on the barings. Thanx for your responses they do help but i think it is something more than that But the boot is very suspicius.Thanx fellas
ZisLuv recently provided a detailed to this problem. Read about it here As with most problems, a quick search finds answers to almost every zed topic:YDAs far as pulling apart the gearbox, as the old saying goes, if you have to ask how ... you probably shouldn't! ...
I'd be very suspicious I think you will find that if you arn't getting the noise in 1st and 3rd it s not bearings. In the 'old' Zed boxes fifth and reverse were related (noise in both or none). I would not be in a hurry to pull that box apart.
