Its a 1990 manual twin turbo. i get a little noise in 2nd and 4th, it sounds like its wearing somthing in the box. just had the box out to replace the clutch so not looking foreward to doing it again.

i didn't notice the noise at first because there was a horrible whirring sound from the fan on the interiour light, after changing the clutch and sorting out the fan noise i then discovered the gear box noise. its not to loud, but very distinktive in 2nd and 4th only.

gear box oil was topped up when the clutch was changed so i don't think its that. any help would be greatly appriceated.

welcome to the club mate! - check this thread out, as FunkySi mentions about a shifter gaitor with 2nd and 4th.. but, hopefully someone will be along soon though to give you a better idea :) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=140287

thanks dre, i had a look at that preveously, it does sound similar, i've took the leather gaitor off to check but i think in doing so it then took off the rubber ones so couldn't tell if they wer allready off. i'll give it a propper test tomorow.

how much do you reckon we'll save with a group buy?

Not enough to tempt me into purchasing one i bet!

 

Not so much the cost of box its the import charges!!!

If got a 94 gear box striped in my living room that I'm re building yes it is like it's geting wors but if I don't boot it I don't hear it

My gearbox has been whinning for several years now!!! I just turn the stereo up!!

I am about to drain and re-fill with "redline mt-90" to see if it helps.

Wasn't a dark blue one was it? Spotted a nice looking Z in the underground Asda car park last winter!

chears guys. having read a bit more into the loose gear gaitor idea making 2nd and 4th audiable, i have come to realise that when replacing the clutch, i didn't put the heat sheild back on (basically because it was a chew on) so i think that may reduce the sound deadening aswell, so i'm just gunna keed drivning it and see if it gets any worse.

Good idea. Bring it to the next North East meet :)

where do the north east meets take place? i should be game for that. is it just Zeds, or jappanese in general, my friends quite like there hondas.
