Gear Box squeaking 1.2

[devnet1]

About a week ago my gearbox was squeaking loudly when changing in to any gear, even if the engine is not on and I changed gear there is a squeaking noise coming from the gear box. I just topped up my gearbox oil to see if that would resolve the problem but it hasn’t, any suggestions as to what the problem is?

I think if no body known’s how to help by tomorrow I am going to Renault because this is worrying me, hmm I will go prepared to be ripped off.:dapprove:

Could it not be the gear linkages run dry and have no grease, causing the squeaking.

 

[devnet1]

Might be, Whats the best way of getting to them?

 

[devnet1]

does it have to be a particualar type of grease?

The ball in my gear selector squeeks... Could be that?

 

[devnet1]

maybe, would wd40 do the job?

 

[Nick_P]

yeah, or some greasy gunky s**t

I sprayed loads of wd40 around the gear linkages and still hasnt helped. I took a video but you cant hear it that well.

Any top tips? The fault is there some days and not others, I went to the garage and the problem had gone, on the way home it started again, Any suggestions?

What kind of grease should you use to get rid of the squeaking? And does it have to be done from under the car - you can't remove the gearstick gaitor from in the car and get to it that way - I only have the scissor jack at the moment you see and I don't fancy crawling under the car relying on that!
