andycowuk 0 Posted February 27, 2005 change your gearbox oil...that noise is probably from the differential in your gearbox... with abit of luck, the oil change will solve it before anything gets bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted February 28, 2005 You can often attribute a whining noise to your girlfriend/wife when you tell her about a new part you've bought for your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awigman 0 Posted March 8, 2005 alright, probably a stupid question for you all but where does the gearbox oil go? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 8, 2005 In the gearbox usually :D Climb under the car (under nearside headlight) and look up.... you'll see a large allen headed bung on the side of the gear casing, a 27mm allen key required (IIRC). That's where it goes.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted March 8, 2005 When I did mine, I used some thicker gearbox oil than the normal stuff. Did the trick, felt much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
