QUICK HELP!!! gearbox noises....

[ShaunEVO]

hey guys just need a quick opinion, my mate just took my EVO III for a spin, swears he drove it normally but has come back making funny noises in 2nd gear. as soon as u click it in u can feel through the gear knob somethings not right and when u pull the clutch out it makes this horrible clunking noise, kinda like some basketball cards stuck in the spoke of your BMX X10!! now the noise sounds external so we are gonna inspect the linkages but just wondering if anyone knows what it is or could give an educated guess what it is u might just save me some time under the car tonight when i should be drinking! thanks in advance.

Shaun.

sounds like my old skyline, thrust bearing it was on mine... but yeah u said it was doing thing weird in 2nd gear... thats strange... your mate took ya car for a spin but said he never drove it hard LOLz, not even i would believe that...

what alse have u noticed with the gear box? is that noise always their when u come off the clutch... or only with u first come off it...

 

[ShaunEVO]

u can feel it, its very prominent, and as u start to accelerate the noise and feel of it makes u just wanna skip straight to 3rd and forget bout 2nd

you break you buy - NEW PARTS to fix it is what I would be telling your mate! and you are game letting your mate drive your car alone anyway, I would always sit passenger seat - mate or not!

^lol but yeh highly doubt its thrust bearing, i done one in my old lancer and its only a minor rattle. this sound is very loud and voilent.

 

[ShaunEVO]

checked linkages, even checked all the way to the gear shifter, had a look around nothing else seems to be outta place, im starting to get scared it may be the 2nd gear cog or maybe a bearing or something....

this doesnt sound like its going to be pretty, especially if it only happens in 2nd

Dont lend ya mate your girlfriend either........
Unless of course you want her to come back f*cked too.

Do an oil change before driving it any further, see what comes out.

Jeff at Techsport checked it out today, more then likely has stripped some teeth of 2nd gear. so will be going in for repairs next weekend.

how much is that going to cost mate?

 

[ShaunEVO]

probably round the 1k mark unless they pull the box apart and find more stuff wrong.
