Zeldoz Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Basically, My gearbox seems to whine alot at low speed you can hear it whineing away.. Also sometimes when accelerating. I suppose its noticeable in low gears 1,2,3 in 4th/5th you cannot really hear it screaming for mercy. Also, if im idling there is a metal on metal sound. At first i thought TD had blown my engine, but when you depress the clutch and lift the revs its perfect. Disengage it and the sound returns? To note, when i removed it to put my 6puk in, Inside the clutch chamber it was extremely black and oilly my mechanic said thats not a good sign, but i had no choice but to carry on as i needed the car to commute. Does it look like a new box job? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Do you have poly bush engine mounts. if you do that will make it wine like a bitch mine dose loads as for metal on meal sound could it not be the release bearing. heard the ones that come with the clutch arnt the best.

I have used the release bearing supplied. Didn't know they were pony until after! Its on standard engine mounts, Its faultless other than whiney, and a dodgey noise! But, it was leaking inside quite badly..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Oil inside the clutch housing is when the rear crank seal has failed, this pisses oil all over the clutch and causes it to slip.The metallic noise sounds like a release bearing noise.How new is the gearbox oil and do you have a LSD ?

I Have 2L of gearbox oil.. which i havent bothered putting in yet as i suspected the thing was a goner.I havent changed it in the 6 months of ownership. Non-LSD C56 both or whatever i think. Rear crank seal.. hm, How can i go about checking this? THe mechanic suspected it was leaking through the bell housing, or the driveshaft seal.. but couldn;t work out how it had entered the chamber unless it had leaked internally? I need to check that crank seal. How severe is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Crank seal is a gearbox and clutch off job had one sat in my car for 2 years lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The only way to do the rear crank seal is to remove the box, these engines are pretty bad for leaky crank seals so it'll most likely be that. Can be severe in the way of causing premature wear on a brand new expensive clutch.If you can select all gears at speed id say the box is fine, the syncros normally go first, could try changing the oil and see if it sorts the noise out but i suspect the release bearing is making the noise, any non Toyota OEM bearing is shite.

Thats good to know. I might do that Sunday and see if it helps! Can i see if the crank shaft is leaking WITHOUT box out? Just to see, if it is ill do the job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 To see if the crank seal is leaking the gearbox has to be removed, so does the clutch & flywheel assembly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Should have really been checked when the clutch was fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Drain the gearbox oil and check for fillings, check right hand side of head make sure rocker cover ain't leaking, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
