()^$^#^^^%& Gearbox

[Hillman kid]

Okay,

I recently had a topic about a squeaky thrust bearing and i thought i had this solved for the third bearing lucky. But no. I replaced it with a new bearing this time around rather than cleaning up the old one and it was good for a month again, then shit, my gearbox is screaming at me, AGAIN

what could the problem be!? I am really over dropping the gearbox every time this happens.

CHEERS

[hunted]

does it squeak all the time? just when clutch is engaged? just when disengaged?

[oldschool]

Could be a dry or worn out spigot bearing?

[Hillman kid]

as the the clutch is released mainly. But sometimes randomly starts squealing so i have to let the clutch out in neutral.
if the thrust bearing isn't the problem then there must be something i do every time i take the gearbox out because each time it happens about a month after putting it back in

[hunted]

'could' be the spiggot bearing, its worth putting a new one in when you have the box off next (avengerparts sells them for about $8 bucks if my mind serve me correct)

[Hillman kid]

So what explains the one month gaps between dropping the box?

[hunted]

Stumped haha. It might be that something is misaligned or bentso that there is strain on the release bearing causing it to give out after a month or so. Just replace everything and hope for the best perhaps? Newclutch plate,pressure plate, spigot bearing, release bearing shouldn't cost much more than a handy.from my experience, the only way to fix somethings are by trial and error

Maybe it's a sign to convert to a 5 speed. I think so

[hunted]

yeh, that was my next explanation

[avenga]

haha speaking of gearboxes and 5 speed conversions, you are welcome to my old 4 speed once I get my 5 speed Sierra gearbox of doom installed.

[hunted]

which will be....?

[avenga]

When I get round to it  Geez what's with all the hassling?

It will probably be after I do the diesel alternator so I have decent boost on my brakes. At the moment I have my seats away being reupholstered along with my dash and rear parcel tray which I hope to have done by OS Nats.

I don't like to have too many projects on the go at once or else they never get finished. I have just finished off the engine and MSD so I wanted to switch it up with a bit of interior work before going back to mechanical then after that move on to the body.

[avenga]
