fucking bollox my gearbox is noisy as hell it sounds like its a cv joint gone you know the sound!!!but it is deffo coming from box if i engage the clutch it does not go away only if the car is at a stand still?? could this be bearings diff? or is the box most probabal fucked also i might sound dull as fuck but the box is a rebuilt BC box with an uprated lsd and 1.8 diesel final drive whats the 1.8 diesel final drive all about need some urgent help as i have to change the clutch to but dont know what the fuck to do with the box

 

 

You have been told where to get a decent box from quite a few times now

All this cutting corners is getting you nowhere other than wasting money.

 

can you please tell me where to get a decent box as i have not been told.i
know of all the usuall places cts ,geartorque etc but could do with a
recommendation.cheers

 

Whats the car / application (road / track / competition etc) and torque power put through it Dave.

But your not far off with CTS

 

nobody has told me where to get a box from?? i dont want a new box i am still trying to find out what is wrong with the one i got before i decide what to do next so i dont have to spend money unecessarily i have been told where to get a clutch from which is something i did ask for. i have been told it could be the lay shaft bearing if this is the case i can get that done for Ł50 but i am unsure cos as i said it sounds like a fucked cv joint knocking and its also wining.i have replaced the drive shafts today with new ones so it deffo aint cv joints.

 

its a 19 cvh.145 bhp @wheels in a mk 2 xr2(single twin choke carb dmtr).going for bike carbs in summer so add another 25bhp.what dya reckon?torque is 140lb ft at mo
without bike carbs.

 

Appologies then I was confusing you with someone else.

It could be a bearing, they get worn with age and use, then start to rattle round a little, then wear out the carrier where they sit. This then needs milling out and a bigger bearing putting in if its on the inner case, or parts replacing if its on the shaft.

Only real way to tell is to strip it and have a look around. If the box is off the car how much play is in the shaft ?

 

Are you struggling with a standard one then ?

CTS are only a phonecall away and all advice from Stuart or Bernie is totally free.

Sounds an interesting motor

 

yeah standard xr box.mainshaft on its way out.will give them a call cheers.
