DanTheB18Man Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hello all, Im really starting to lose love in my mb i have had it for a year and its been going good but a month ago something from the front end started whining. It only happens once you slightly press the accelerator or when you're maintaining speed, like holding at 30... Once i depress the clutch the noise disappears. I had my mainshaft bearings replaced and i have replaced the clutch and thrust bearing. Nothing had changed :/ The whine started when my brother missed a gear and obviously it high revved ( didnt hit limiter) Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheB18Man Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nah man haha im the one who fixes it. i took the box to a gearbox specialist and he said every bearing is perfect (like new) and he couldnt find much wrong so he replaced the mainshaft bearings but still no hope. He suggested that it might be the output gear to the diff that is damaged but that cost way to much to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If it's not serious and the box works. Can you live with it?? Only saying that because now a Bit more clued up nowadays.. When I first bought an mb6 it had a slight noise in neutral. I sold that box as spares or repairs and replaced it.. I am now about 7 gearboxes later. And they all have a slight noise in neutral. I have also repaired a box with d**ky synchros. And suspected main shaft bearing for a whine. Whine was still there afterwards. I believe now I should have just lived with it on the original box. It's probably still going strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
