problems yet again 89 16v
« on: 25 May 2006, 11:47 »
not a happy chappy people,,,,right wen setting off in first or second and i boot it slightly i get a right horrible sound coming from what sounds like the passenger front wheel,so i got it checked out,bearings,cv's etc and they were fine and been told it maybe gearbox by my local mechanic because theres a continuos noise that sounds like a slight grinding but when u dip the clutch the noise goes. now i know its had a new clutch/cable in the past year and wen i told this to a friend he said it might be the fact that when the clutch and cable was replaced the clutch release plate might not have been replaced properly as there seems to be an oil leak fom the gear box aswell so anyone any ideas how much this is gonna cost roughly or am i better off buyin another GOOD gearbox and paying to have that fitted or just get this 1 repaired
u can cook, u can f*ck, u can do the washin up, now ive had enuff,come on,f*ck off,get stuffed........................macc lads,great.

is it a heavy vibration thru the car or is it an actual grinding noise come from the drivetrain?
