right i've got an escort lsd gearbox on my frst and its started making like a whining noise when i change down into second gear?
any ideas?

 

find a nice friendly mechanic and get a quote for a gearbox rebuild.
then prepare to part with some money.

 

joy how much u recon it will cost?

 

no idea, you'd probably be better off looking for a second hand one.
but then you'll have no idea whether it'll be any good.

i'd just get some quotes.

 

hmmmm i could get a second had escort one but which mk would i need guessin and rs turbo one? and take the lsd out of it

 

i thought erst fitted frst with no mods?
straight swap as far as i remember?

 

yea i think they fit straight on

right little update i now only have first which crunches when it goes in and second now
y cant people tell you these things and b honest when u buy a car only got it yesterday

 

I rebuilt my box and it cost me no more than about £70 for the parts. It's the labour thats a killer when you have someone else do it for you (and they aint that hard to rebuild). When mine whent i was quoted £375 to have it rebuilt. It all depends on whats wrong with yours on how much it will cost really if it's only bearings (like mine was and mine was hard to get in gear and made a whining noise in first) then you can get the full kits for about £50 it's when you need things like new shafts etc.. that the bill goes up

 

so how would u no cos ive only got 1st and second now, so how would i know wot neds changing i have no idea about gearboxes

 

You cant really tell till you get it apart

 

But whining noise usually indicates a bearing or low oil

 

so what if it was a whining noise then now only can have 1st and 2nd wwhat does that normal mean?

 

Like i say whining is "usually" bearings but you cant really say till you get it apart. If your fairly competent with the spanners then id have a go at it yourself tho.

 

s1 and s2 lsd boxes bolt straight in no mods

 

do it your self,easy gearbox to rebuild
