Murphy and the gearbox

It's just you bru....aint life great :!:

i think its time myself and woohoo met!!!

its been too long since i had munchies!

POKE-IT! but you pokers don't poke around, eh? one night gearbox swop!
bliksem!

AAAAAGGGGG SHITTTTTT!!!!!! Murphy u *******, the noise I that I sent the box in for is still there, I can actually change the gears now on high rpm but the cracling noise is is still there, it sound like it is coming from the back of the gearbox where the propshaft goes in, almost like the propshaft is slipping over the gearboxes shaft....

No windowcrapper I am not talking about that shaft I am talking about the gearbox shaft.

I had a nasty noise in my box. Pulled the box out stripped it and found the layshaft was f***ed. So I change the layshaft and bearing and popped it back in.

now there's a part of the sx that i dont know about!!!

lay shafts??? sounds like fun.

perhaps i need to get me a spare gearbox, print the FSM (transmission) and strip it, then reassemble it!

so what now draco??? its gonna be a schlep to pull the box again, but if you dont, you gonna have kak later, no?

Riaan said I must bring the car to them to check, I think it has something to do with the shaft.....Gary what and where is the layshaft?

The lay shaft is in the gear box.

thanks for clearing that up gory48!!!

Yisliket I thaught that much, where in the box....where the propsaft goes in?

No the layshaft is the shaft that changes gears in the box. You have the "input shaft" and the "output shaft" the layshaft connects the two.

Ummm it sounded like the noise was comming from just below the gear lever hey... nasty "cluck cluck cluck in rapid succession" at peak torque, like gears slipping over each other...

Mine sounded like the gears were grating eachother. Or like a seriously screwed wheel bearing.

Gary did your sound come from the back end of the gearbox, just about back of the gearshift almost where the propshaft coms in?

No mine sounded like it was coming from right under the gear lever. but then my front bearings were far worse than the rear.

My sound comes from just back of the gearshift.....

Pull the box and open it up and have a look. I would personally take it back to the company that did the box. You payed R3500 and they did not fix the problem!!!

I did it through Riaan, he sent it somewhere, I will give them the car then they will check it.

JAAAA-HOOOO......! Iv'e got nothing for murphy.....my shit is sorted, o wait I do have something for murphy,before I explain let me explane something else....jou ma se ma se ma se sussie se.... 😮 ...

Apart from the cracling noise I heard I couldn't cgange gears in high revs, scratched into 2nd and jumped to 5th gear....that was fixed, so to rhe gearbox oaks sorry for dowting you....

The crackling noise was the arm that bolts to the body over the propshaft to stop it from falling out if it brakes somehow, this arm made by plate sits behind the rubber boot almost on top of the nuckel of the propshaft, the local propshaft oakie checked the propshaft then I took him for a drive, as soon as he heard it he said he is almost sure the propshaft is connecting with this arm when the car is at peak torque, went to the shop took it off went for a drive...,.sweet silence, went back ectended the arm rounding sothat it can still do the job it was suppose to but gives more space for the propshaft to moove.

Walla 😀

who's walla,

i thought you were draco!

anyway, well done walla i'm glad your shit is sorted!
