Ok just done a search on here on a few gearbox related problems, I wouldnt say mine was of a major issue but here goes.

 

Got a noise with clutch out which is obviously an internal noise problem, i know its not gunna affect the box much and can last a good few thousand miles until it gets really noisy and rattley but its a bit annoying and im looking to have it sorted in the near future. It makes the noise when in 1st and second also.

 

before you ask yes ive checked the gear gaitor and its fine ive even added a bit of sound dampening material.....

 

I also get a rattle/ vibration when pulling off at about 1000/1500rpm in first and second and a bit in 3rd then it disapears completly, but i cant live with it....... for now :D

 

I also have a bit of a funny gearchange mainly when cold from 1st to second and its hard to get in 1st while coasting, clutch has been bled a few times now for other reasons so i know its not hydralic.

 

 

Anyone had any experience with these probs and can pinpoint the worn parts/bearings?

Whats involved with the jobs/ replacing layshaft bearing or whatever the noisy bugger is called.

Thats a standard 300zx feature!

Ah that settles it then, :D

Sounds like your describing my gearbox!

Gaiter only effects 2nd and fourth. Could be your clutch is a bit low and you're getting noise from a worn thrust/release bearing.

Time for an Auto to manual conversion Lol:tongue::cool:

thrust release bearings are noisey when foot is down on the clutch, so its defo internal, but its not loud, sometimes when ive been listening to the radio and i turn it off its hard to distinguish the noise unless you press the clutch up and down then its obviouss again.

 

ive got a new clutch to go in anyway.

and the clutch in there at the mo is new anyway, so whoever wants it can have it afterwards if they really want it:D

dont you mean a manual to auto conversion:tongue:

did you ever sort this jimmy?

na, it still whires away,,, hasnt goten any worse so ive learnt to get on with it.....

Noisey in 1st 2nd and 3rd and dissapearing in fourth was always a sign of layshaft bearing on cars a few years ago , should be the same on a zed, on some cars you would hear a rattle on tickover , press the clutch pedal and it goes , that,s sometimes another sign !! . HTH bud
