Car Forum / MINI / May 2005Noise from Clutch?
My gearbox kept jumping out of second on overun so i've swapped it for another I had lying around. The gearbox is fine but the trouble is that I now have a noise at idle. It is like a rustling whine. It disappears when the cluch is pressed. Clutch bearing? I did a mix and match with the 3 transfer gears as one was missing on the gearbox I put in could this cause it? cheers Peter > I did a mix and match with the 3 transfer gears as one was missing on the > gearbox I put in could this cause it? Yes. The gears mate together and run quietly that way. If you make up a set from used gears, you are likely to get noise. I put a transfer gear back in the wrong way round once on an early box. It sounded like a set of straight cuts. If the noise is only slight, I would leave it alone. Changing the oil more frequently might be a good idea as well. John |
