- I have never heard of a Cracked gear ! do they mean the teeth are worn ? when is the noise there ? always when driving or only in 5th gear ? does it make a noise when NOT in gear ? are the other gears OK ..... Is reverse Gear OK ? Did the Man open up the gearbox and inspect the Cogs ?
is the noise like a Whining noise a bit like when you drive fast in reverse gear ?
Sit in a quiet place no radio no blowers with engine running and NO GEAR now press the clutch and listen does it make a noise ? release it and listen is it different do this a few times ! It could be the thrust bearings on the clutch ! CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE GETTING A GEARBOX
So today after going to the workshop personally, was shown
a broken fork
they said the 5th gear has broken, n will need replacement along with the reverse gear.
they have not opened the gearbox, just taken out the cracked fork n 5th gear
my question
1. does anyone know what are the components in the 5th gear?
2. does the 5th gear assembly box come along with the reverse gear?
3. the axl boot had a tear, so do we need to change the axl as well??
yes, the noise was a sporadic whining noise before it started making a loud spluttering noise, and the 5th gear became free, at which point we took it to the service station
