Krzys Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm guessing you're holding off on the new clutch until you get the box off to repair/swap then? Could be something like needing fresh oil or something? Or am I being too optimistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's worth trying changing the oil to start with. Try 10000rpm on here as he breaks them and may have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Defo a bit optimistic if it's that noisy! Bearings probably come apart. I seen it with my own eyes box still working but input bearing in bits. Makes very noisy.Keep an eye on civic life and eBay. Gearbox buying can be risky unless you get a chance to try itOr yeah 10000rpm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Oh trust me its really loud from what i can tell its the input and output shaft bearings and the syncro's in first n second are pretty much Naffed im now having too double clutch to change gear lol.I found a rebuilt fully reconditioned one from a place in guildford with a 20000 mile warranty but they want £495 dose that sound fair? I feel its a bit pricey but im used to nissan parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Depends what's been done when you say reconditioned. I'd expect to pay around 200-250 quid for used one with 100k.So I guess it sounds reasonable what with the warranty and all. I had a minor gearbox fault and decided to replace with a s4c box. I'm sure some members recall my woes. I had 5-6 boxes on my car before I found one that worked.In hindsight I'd have rather paid a little more for peace of mind.As it ended up costing a fortune. Time and money. Stress etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
