Noisy gear box

[s2kjn]

Hi

Just wanted to quickly know if anyone experiences a whirring noise when the clutch is not depressed when ure in neutral and as soon as u depress the clutch, the noise goes away.

Thanks!

I think he was talking about a gearbox that was for sale on ebay. When did you last change your gearbox oil? Try using Redline MT-90. From memory most cars make some sort of sound when in neutral and the clutch is out. Might be the clutch pressure plate?

[blackouT]

Is redline MT-90 the best one recommended to replace the OEM gearbox oil?

[jbird]

OEM is 75W-80 GL4.

Anything that meets that standard and is close enough to weight should be fine.

Personally I think Redline is overpriced and OEM MTF06 works well (if you change it often)

Changed the gearoil when i changed the clutch on Monday. Had the whirring noise before I got the oil changed, so I think it maybe something else.

[ninzee]

i get the same thing in my civic its not a major noise ay? just something that once u hear it u keep focusing on it and it anoys the crap out of u

MT-90 is expensive for a reason though.. It works well with our boxes! I changed mine recently to see if it really is that good, it is. Notchiness has reduced dramatically, from cold start to warm engine, the shifting is the same and feels somewhat "lighter" as opposed to my old oil (3,000kms) anyway. I also changed my motor oil too at the same time and have noticed that the S is very quiet compared to before, because apparently redline oils treat the box and dampens the noise too. So all silky for me.

I could get MT90 for $27/quart, our boxes need 1.6L so roughly 1 3/4 bottles will fill it nicely. Well worth the $60 odd + delivery I say - Plus you only need to change it every 30,000kms anyway.

all this talk about redline mt-90 makes me want to try it out..

Loose input shaft bearing! No harm done. Won't blow up lol

[s2kjn]

what are the specs of the redline gear oil are you guys buying? might give that a try

[zhong]

Red Line MT-90 75W90 Synthetic Manual Transmission Oil - Sold by the Quart (946mL)

[s2kjn]

I think they also sell by the gallon. Are these the same (from redline website)?

RL134-1 MT90® Gear Oil 75W90 GL4 1USQrt 0.946L each $41.00
RL134-4 MT90® Gear Oil 75W90 GL4 1USGal 3.784L each $149.00

Do the numbers after RL mean anything or are they a product number?

[zhong]

^^^ Most likely product number... That's expensive! I can get them for about $25/Q.. PM me if you want the details.

Peace.

[s2kjn]

PM sent. Cheers mate!

Redline's gotmy vote!!

[Engin09]

s2kjn, did u go from oem to redline? and did you feel the difference in notchyness and smoothness? pm me :D and can u also give me the details of where you got it from :)

[aznsiko]

sounds like you thrust bearing...

[lycan]

That could be the bearing applies pressure to the clutch was worn. You need to replace it. That is always happen, because not all workshop replace that while change the clutch.

[SajadEG]

ball bearing issues will make a sound when the clutch isnt applied

[s2kjn]

Ill get them to check/replace it out once I get a rebuild of the box in a couple of months. Thanks alot!

[g.ta]
