What's a cluster gear?

Can you describe your problem for us?

i got no idea wat a cluster gear is my mate sed "its like the little gears inside the box" whatever that means? :s

well like when it gets over 3-4k rpm, this weird noise starts.. when i downshift its loud as and when im idle, theres like a ticking kinda noise, n when i put my foot on the clutch and dis-engaged the gearbox its gone.. so yeh :S

Sounds like an input shaft bearing...

There is a whining / whirring noise when driving (gets louder as I accerate) but goes away when I put the clutch in (disengage it).
This tends to point to a worn input shaft bearing (ISB) or other bearing within the gearbox. The ISB is the most common to fail. The best way to diagnose this is to let the car idle and listen for the noise. Then put the clutch pedal in (disengage the clutch) and you will probably notice that the noise will die out. A very slight noise is OK however if it is very loud and noticable you will want to change your bearing(s) before they fail.

Fix (for a D-series.....but same deal pretty much)

haha, welcome friend! crapping gearboxes is my specialty, lol
If the noise goes away when you engage the clutch, that rules out the thrust bearing, sounds like it may be the main bearing, same thing happened to mine after i installed my short shifter.

I got a full re-build and forge in Adelaide for around $1500. ! good luck, hopefully it's something small!
