Well in 4th and 5th maybe 3rd but it not load enough yet. I have not heard it in 1st or 2nd. I have found there to be some kind of noise when I am coasting along with no throttle. ie flats, down a hill etc. You can't hear it at all when on the throttle or with it just cracked. I presume it is bearing noise. There is not banging or clunking its just like a rattling noise but a bit loader? Its at around the 60km/h mark. Its not engine noise or anything but it could be a diff but im 90% sure its coming out of the box. Its also a 4.11 Jap spec RS box.

Anyone got some ideas of what it could be and would it be easy to fix and what sort of dollars I might be looking at? It might just be a case of finding another box.

maybe its the car protesting about having to 60km/h in 5th gear.
By bearing noise are you thinking throw/thrust bearing?

I'm not sure what bearings it would be. I know its some kind of bearing but which I'm not sure about.

5th gear at 60 is easy in a 4.11 box.

Well how wrong I was. It now has a missing tooth on 1st gear. 3rd box down now bring on number 4.

You need to stop doing rev limit launches Doug.

time to spend some real cash, and go for a straight-cut dogbox

If you are going to spend $$ on a gearbox you should go for the 6 speed they are a sweet box

Thats just it I did nothing like dump it. Got me stuffed.

Anyhow I have foud a box and diff. So she is going back to 3.9's and the leone will get the 4.11's.

6 speed would be nice but out of budget. Straight cut not in an everyday driver. Leo is getting that.
