Funny Gearbox Sound

[Valver'o'Death]

Can anyone help me????

New noise started last night comin from somewhere in my gearbox i think. Its a rattling noise comin from the gear stick area. Sounds like metal tapping metal or summit. Could it be a bush gone somewhere? It only comes with deceleration aswell. The gearbox seems fine though.......



Anyone got any ideas at all?

Someone can surely help me!

is it like a metallic rattle sounds like a bike chain against the guard at 2k?

I have this problem.

 

[Valver'o'Death]

Yep thats the one! Mt matey thinks it may be a bush on one of the selector rods but hes not sure?

i thought it was the foil heatshield thingy rattling against the exhaust manifold, but im not sure, its very annoying.

Going to 3d transmissions tomorrow to get the mount done, will ask them about it.

If it was one of the selector rods then surely wouldnt happen in every gear?

I am convinced its a rattle caused by the vibration caused at 2k - 2.5k

but then im no mechanic!

Yeah yours sounds the same as mine! Those heatshields are only light though so i find it hard to beleive its that. I have just had a new exhaust fitted though so it could be that in someway?

mmm..doubt it, I had the problem with my standard exhaust on and now I have a magnex it still remains.

I also checked all the exhaust heatshields when in the garage and they were fine, so that outrules that one, only 251 possibilities left!

come on someone cant only be me and the death bloke whos had it/got it?

The heatshiled if it drops makes a dead annoying razzle noise.

Just bend down and look!

seeing as youve had an exhaust fitted lately this would seem to be the cause.either its poorly alligned or a heat sheild has come loose.
