I assumed the following was a sign of impending gearbox failure, but having spoken to someone i\'m now having doubts.
The issue is this. When backing off in 2nd I can hear a grinding / rattle noise that appears to be coming from the gearbox area. On my last event this has now started happening in 3rd and to a certain extent 4th. I can select gear no problem and there is no noise on tick over, when cruising or when accelarating.
So does this sound like the gearbox? I have been told as this only happens when backing off it is unlikely. It wasnt that long ago I had the clutch replaced, the 2nd gear problem was evident at the time and is still evident since. The clutch did come with some sort of bearing. i have the standard FD push or pull type what ever it is.
Any thoughts? Money is tight and I dont want to swap it over if it isnt needed.
Thanks
If its when backing off, my first thoughts would be to check the mounts as there could be excessiev movement.
Check the prop u/j\'s because these will give the symptoms you describe
Cheers guys :Thumbs-up
Any more opinions? Could really do with ruling out the gearbox before I pay to get it swapped out!!
