KiNK43 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Yes mate. That's the way. Mine went like this. Original s9b input bearing whine.next had 3rd gear crunch. next had No 1st or 2nd. Next 4th gear crunch then finally one with input bearing completely fell apart after one drive, Scoring the case beyond repair.So I then at that point got to drive car to make sure it was ok with 165k miles on it. Beautiful lovely smooth box.So we took it off the car and put it on mine there and then in the pouring rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymb6 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 mine is crunching when you gas it hard but if you drive gently its ok if I can get away with making it last I might try one of the lads on here for a decent box and do a weekend trip over in new year its all money I miss living in uk everything is so cheap for me to tax my car for 3 months here is 180 euro that's about 150 pounds in sterling that's a years tax over there for what I have to pay for 3 months my insurance is 500 euro that's about 450 pounds works out nearly the same the nct test or mot if you will is 60 euro about 50 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Tried new fluid?? Not gonna cure the problem as you obviously have a worn synchro. But fluid can make a difference. Maybe the crunch will be lessened or move higher up the Rev range or dissappear. JUst for now until you get a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
