Graunching gearbox in 5th

Recommended Posts

Just bought a VR6 and 2 days later I have problems!!

 

On a motorway run today I noticed a graunching sound coming from the gearbox when in 5th - but only when my foot is off the accelerator. Foot back down and it's running fine...

I can feel the vibration through the gear stick and it doesn't sound healthy at all.

 

Anyone any ideas about what this could be and how much it's going to cost to sort? :(

 

Cheers

probably worth checking the gear oil level.

 

on the 8v/16v boxes 5th sits highes and is first to suffer from low oil level.

 

i could be wrong :oops: it could be any no. of things really.

 

someone more vr6 orientated will be along shortly to help. :lol:

Thanks Riley.

 

Anyone else have any ideas about this one? If it's just the gearbox oil is it just a case of topping up or full change?

 

cheers

Is this just a rattling gear stick on the overrun or is there real noises from the gearbox in the engine bay?
