need a new gearbox?

[Anonymous]

Guys I need some help

I have an awful grating/rattling type noise when I drive in gear at low load / coasting – it disappears if I slip it into neutral.
Does this mean I need a new box? If so any advice on sourcing and changing the 2's box would be gratefully received.
If it's not the box any ideas as to what it could be? (I have no power loss or adverse issues apart from the noise)

thx

You could try Redline MT90, mine went away with that and I haven't worried about it since.

thx Tem i will try that - did you have a similar issue then?

Yeah, exactly like you described:

no power loss or adverse issues apart from the noise

Im haviung a very similar problem to this and would prefer to go down the route of buying some redline rather than a new gearbox. However, not being to experienced with the enginebay of my car, i havent got a clue where the filling point is on the gearbox! any help appreciated!

true on the noise bit, but due to the layout of our clutch, Hydraulic and with really squishy rubber bushes in it, you may not have any feeling
