my gear box drones constantly from 20 mph louder to 50/60 then starts tailing off around 75 ... still there further up speedo but not as loud. changed f wheel bearings . still no joy. local garages pissing me off with the oh well your 35 an hour for diagnosis when i know its tranmission related.
the noise goes away when you turn left (weight shifts right)
could it be diff bearings or driveshaft ...
considering just buying second hand box and getting a garage to fit it with new clutch at same time but dont want to shell out to find that noise is still there
apparently mk3 has subframe that needs removed to get box off then re alligned when fitted sounds expensive and i dont fancy dismantling my car in garden
has anyone any pointers or has anyone had same problem
cheers
