Its just getting a bit old..... :smiley: try changing the oil, use a high grade oil and all should be well. Don't do what I do with my audi Gearbox and constantly listen to the whine till it drives me mad!  :grin:

Yeah, probably just old age. Did I read here somewhere that Redline MTX is good for old 'boxes?
