  1. Hi, Had the car checked out by a mechanic. He says the Input Shaft Bearing is on its way and if i get that done I may as well replace the clutch. I suppose thats a strip and rebuild. Would it be cheaper to just get hold of a recon box and pay someone to swop out or get the repairs done?
  2. Oooh! Is that expensive to get sorted? And how can i be 100% sure that's the problem?
  3. Ok.So I have changed the tranny oil. The gear change is now much smoother but the whirring is still there. Does it take a while for the new oil to circulate around the gearbox . Will check the fluid level again today incase it needs a top up as only managed to put in 1.5 litre of the fresh oil . Have now noticed that the whirring disappears when the clutch is depressed.
  4. Cant see any obvious leaks. will do tha job hopefully at the weekend.
  5. That's great. If the oil is low.should i use some of that lucas g/box stop leak stuff to seek any leaks? or will that kill the g/box?
  6. Thanks for that great info Lukey. I'm assuming the 17mm hex bolts will need some brute force to release. If on the off chance the thread strips is there a backup i.e. slightly larger hex, re-tap the whole. or is it knackered?
  7. Hi VR6PETE, Thanks, difficult to pin point where the noise is coming from as I can only hear it whilst driving. Sounds like its coming from the front but, sound travels in mysterious ways around a cars chassis. It does sound a bit tinny on tick over when I listen around the pulley area. But no whirring. With the oil , I put in 10w40 semi-synthetic as that seemed to be the stuff most peeps where putting in their VR's. Haven't checked the gearbox oil if its low or thin. Am i correct in thinking I need a 17mm allan key to drain the gearbox? If so which g/box oil is the best one to replace with? A
  8. Help needed! I have changed the pulley bearing (old one worn out) , belt (last one shiny) , refilled all fluid levels (did have power steering leak but used the magic lucas stuff to plug it, leak stopped), These fixed the obvious noises related to each. I.E squeaks and whining. But, after the car has warmed from driving for about 5 min, it starts to whir. it doesn't seem to stop when pressing the clutch in or turning left or right. Doesn't make the sound when the car is cold. Have changed the fuel pump and filter recently as old ones bearings gave up, I also done an oil and filter change. The
