well the prob is that when im driveing the rs turbo there is this horrible scraping noise it sounds like the gearbox i thought it might have been low oil so i put 2 bottles of oil in it but the noise is still there its only when its driving when u dip the clutch it goes and when u back of the accelarator its not present just when u accelarate
any smarty pants got any ideas???????

 

hi
2 bottles of oil went in dont sound good that
when you have the car on level ground and remove the allen key bolt you should just get a show of oil coming out so if 2 bottles went in and it aint coming out of the driveshaft seals sounds like the gearbox has been running with seriously low oil so might of knackered the gearbox but i am just going on what you have said
i had a problem with screeching when pulling away upto 20 mph then it went but that was a wheel bearing on the front left
mark

 

clutch release bearing maybe?

 

sounds like you need a new gearbox mate, mine went like that, some s2 turbos eat gearboxes, got a dieasel one on mine now been on 3 yrs, no problems except a bit fierce on take off!!

 

well driving to work and the wheels locked and i lost all gears so pulled over and its going into gears again but its about a minutes drive from my house what are my chances of driving it back with out locking up
or can i get it towed ?dnt want it locking in neutral on ther persontowing me
any suggestions guys

 

was the gearbox then!!it should tow in neutral no problem!!

 

yea mate box is now out so looking to replace tomorro
gotta love fords lol

 

i got a spare dieasal box if you need one!!!
