lol, as above. i am not having much luck with my rex. got it back after the second rebuild and am mucho happy pulls like a train, a turbo train.
although it now has a wyne, wine, however it is spelt. it is noticable in 1-2-3 not 4th as is direct and dont notice it in 5th as if in 5th i am on the motorway etc so cant hear over the road noice. it does stop when clutch in pressed down. a bearing?
there is also a noice that sounds like it is coming from a bit further back as i slow down, still in gear (not clutch in) just slowing to a hault. sounds almost like a rubbing noice, but i am sure it is mechanical,
diff oil ???
Mine does it too. Had all oils replaced but its still the same. My last rex made no wine at all (that was type x though which I think has more sound deadening). It is a daily driver and so far it does not seem to be getting any worse so I am not worrying.
Mine does it in 3rd & 4th at about 2000 rpm under a little load, but once its going above 3000 it all shuts up???
Jono
Gear whine is a symptom of poor gear alignment..generally brought on by bearing wear allowing shafts and gears to move around under load. Only fix is a rebuild, and the longer it goes on the more damage is done to the gear teeth.
As above I would have thought the diff was the culprit.
I ended up getting a new box when my 5th syncro went, and sold my old box. Maybe worth your while instead of rebuilding it.
hmmm, my 5th sincro is a bit cr4p, but pip siad had he known when i got it rebuild and new clutch etc it would have cost about £20 to fix. i dont know.....will have to taake it up to them and get it investigated i think. when i have a spare day and £150 for petrol to get there.
No help at all here... But it\'s spelt whine :Thumbsup!
