synchromesh whine

[john.med]

Having ripped off my noisy as hell rear silencer and fitted a quiet as a mouse CES silencer, I can now hear lots of new noises. JOY!

One noie is a slight whine from the synchro', should I be worried at 46k?

100% sure its the synchros...and which one/ones?

 

[john.med]

sounds like 1st and 2nd gear... prety sure it's the synchro'

 

[m0nk3y]

I think i have the same problem with mine I have been trying to ignore it... is it costly to fix?

 

[16v_jon]

try changing the gearbox oil for a start , millers 75/90 or tranself tr4

 

[john.med]

due a service soon, will ensure one of the above goes in

 

[BenR]

synchros dont really whine, if its in gear its normally bearings or misaligned/worn teeth.
