MR2 is moving nicely, no troubles there. But the noises I can hear from the gearbox… damn.
Every since I got the car moving on its own, I’ve heard this weird noise, mostly on 4th, like something resonating really bad. First thought was that the LSD is still not broken in, but then the concern has moved towards bearing shimms. Did we buy new shimms, did we? Of course no!
Well, it could be something else, but for now, the car is standing on the jacks. Again. And this time, the gearbox removal is really more straightforward and easier. Shouldn’t take that long.
I had the car on the jacks, 4th gear engaged and Maladar under the car listening to the gearbox. After couple of minutes Maladar said “yeah, we have to take it down again..” and I was bit surprised and later pissed.
Damn.
Thanks man! I’ve got some pics which I’m going to publish bit later. This time the gearbox removal was lot easier 🙂
Aww that’s a bugger, I thought it had been going perfectly because you hadn’t posted in a while xD, I’m sure it won’t take long for you boys to fix!! Goodluck, I hope it’s something easy to replace :]
Heh, yeah, thats of course true. 🙂
Better to check than be sorry afterwards. The noice was echoing around the whole transmission casing, so it was impossiple to say where it was coming for real. It was quite metallic though, so I want to check it before we head to the track with it 🙂
