Can hear it especially in 1st and a bit in 2nd gear. If i give it a bit of stick in first you can hear it aswell...almost sounds a bit like induction roar, but goes away once you change into the higher gears.

I can make it happen by slowly lifting the clutch pedal.

Engine still running fine so i've ruled out another engine rebuild LOL.

Anyone give me any ideas? Got me a bit stumped

u say it happens when u lift the clutch pedal slowly.... is that in and out of gear? if so it maybe your clutch/thrust bearing mate. not to expensive bout £10 but it means gearbox off

EvilFranky

Yeah mate, does seem to be in and out of gear.

I'll see about getting the box off when i'm next off work and having a look.

i had the same noise in 1st and 2nd on my xr2i, the gearbox was worn out.

EvilFranky

To be honest mate i wouldnt be surprised.

Its 88k standard box thats seen some abuse in the 4 year i've owned the car...going to look out for a gearbox now aswell.
