Hi all,
Just recently had a new second hand gearbox fitted and my OS Giken rebuilt using a new rebuild kit...both done at Garage-D.
They did the job quickly and I drive the car without any issues.
But, prior to the car getting the work done there was always a very slight gearbox rattling noise when the car would idle, weather i am sitting at traffic or parked at idle. Would not be much when its cold, but once its warm you can hear it slightly. Not as loud as the clutch rattle when the clutch pedal is pressed.
This one happens at idle and obviously I cannot tell if it happens when I drive it because the exhaust and cabin noise drowns it out.
I have no idea what it is and I thought once the gearbox and clutch work was done, it would disappear. But the same sound is there. I was thinking maybe something is loose, bell housing issue or maybe flywheel is not tight, i dont know...completely new to me. The car drives and pulls fine without any noticeable problems.
I found a thread here about someone else having a similar gearbox rattle at idle who is running the os giken clutch, but his clutch was a three plate clutch and it seems these clutches do rattle at idle a slight bit.
Does anyone know if the two plate one I have could possible be doing the same thing? Is that the rattle I am hearing? I just don't want to have to take it to the garage and for them to remove the gearbox to check for everything and be charged for labour only to find out these clutches do rattle a bit on idle.
Any help appreciated as always.
Thanks.
