Yes :(
Now its past the mot, I am trying to track down this whine i've had for the last few months.
At first, you only got it when you accerated hard in 1st or 2nd.
Now, you get more of a rumble when you are just coasting along with the car in gear but your foot off the gas.
Been going round in circles for a while now and getting nowhere with it :(

Hmm. JamesV6's auto gearbox started with a whine, IIRC... ::)
-
If you knock it into neutral when your going along does it change?????

Manual box Kevin, if that makes any diference :-\

Noise disapears.
Also no noise on a part throttle that I can hear

That rules out wheel bearing and diff I reckon.....have you checked the oil in your gearbox?

Oh 'dangle berries' :-[
I'll dig out the jack and stands and report back :y
I'll also add, no problem at all with selecting gears
-
When you say thrust bearing are you talking release bearing or the small pilot bearing in the end of the crank....

I believe its the one that has a nylon case that is in the area of the clutch :-\
Some of you lads have forgotten more about mechanics then I'll ever know so bear with me on this :-[
A friend of mine metioned that it sounds like one hence the question on here :-[ :-[

ermm. yes, I expect it does. :-[
-
What oil do I need for my manual gearbox ?
-
So, does the noise get louder or quieter with the clutch pedal lightly pressed?
-
Gearbox level ish and level plug on the side is off.
Not dribbleing out so I take it it needs a top up.
Can I use EP80W-90 ?
-
The old ever helpful haynes is just giving me a few vx part numbers and saying it should never be mixed......
-
Does it say how much a manual box holds ?
-
1.2 ltrs.........

1/2 ltr and still dribbling in :(
Just warming the oil container up in a pan of water.
This is taking forever

Got to go out so catch up with you later..............crossing fingers this sorts your rumble out.. :y
-
i'll have a clutch kit for sale soon...had it fitted to my mv6 at christmas and wrote the car off in feb 4th clutch was around £350 fitted ..if i remember correctly it was a 4 piece clutch..bearing,plate ,basket and slave.will be looking around £150 as its so new
-
Right, just managed to get 0.9 ltrs of oil in the gearbox before it started dribbling out. :-[
Took it for a rather spirited drive to get things nicely warmed up ;)
Box seems to change gear the same. The whineing noises are still there but have changed tone and are nowhere near as loud so it looks like i've done some damage in there :-[
With the car rolling and out of gear, you can still hear a rumbleing sound from the gearbox / transmision. Put it in gear and put your foot down and it disapears.
Definetly got a whine from under the bonnet.
Already changed the utility tentioner / pully and the water pump has only done 5000 miles so it looks like the cam belt tensioner next.
