Car is not causing any problems, no whining, no clutch slip, but it when I change down a gear from say 3rd to 2nd at say 40-50 it sounds just like a car that has been stood for a long time and the handbrake stuck on a bit.

Just paranoia I suppose, but Ive never had a car with a stage 2 bernie box, quaiffe diff and alcon 6 paddle clutch.

The car has only done 2000 miles, but the box was built in early 2004.

Anyone any ideas as its doing my head in.

Oh its more noticable in reverse for some reason





THANKS!

 

Cossie Paronoia with an RS Turbo...............NO THANKS

 

well mine never did any such thing!

sounds to me like the gear selector isnt adjusted correctly

 

Cheers Ballin

As long as I dont need to fork out 1k+ on another box



Here, have one of me beers

 

before u take a sip tho lol, it DOES go into gears perfectly!

only when u release the clutch does it do the noise

 

Is it like a groan as you lift the clutch pedal up? and once the clutch is fully up the noise stops?

If so its just the clutch material biting and making a groan.

in my experiance AP clutches are notorious for making a groan noise when changing from 3rd to 2nd gear, my AP organic did this noise but it never was a problem

 

Thats it then.

Cheers people

 

ah I thought you meant it made a knocking sound.

if its the selector then it would struggle to select gears just sat in your drive
