Strange Noises And Rattles Off A Fg Manual Gearbox

[fpv_f6]

hay guys, funny enough im starting to freak out with the amount of issues im raising lol. back to my point. the other night I was driving normally, sitting in 4th gear. thought id give it so I did. I reved it out till bout mid range and all of a sudden my gearnob starting rattling side to side and it wouldnt let me really push any more power out. every other gear is fine and it doesnt always do it. now my car pushes 349rwkw at 1000nm. ive been told these boxes are ment to be very very strong but now im not sure.

It is odd that the gearstick only rattles in 4th gear, you should check the basics, start with the transmission mount and crossmember and also the the tailshaft.

If all seems well there then drain the oil and check the condition of it, look for metal in the oil.

Call me if you wish, Regards, Mal Wood

your harmonic balancer may be about to fall off like mine was at 45k ford rekon its rare made the gear stick rattle like hell at certain revsand engine light come on sometimes they misdiagnosed it 4 times then eventually fixed it
