Clutch bearing or gearbox bearing

[Jomsy]

How can you tell if its the clutch release bearing or gearbox input bearing.

the noise is only present when moving, and dissappears when you put your foot on the clutch,

when stationary there is no noise, clutch in or out

[Limbo]

I don't think you kinda can without taking it out to see what is wrong :(

ISB in the gearbox

if you drive and the knocking gets faster and louder its input shaft, it happened to mine, if you stopped and press clutch, the knocking noise goes away, if u take foot off clutch noise is there
and like i mentioned as you drive the noise will get faster and louder....that is ISB (gearbox bearing)

is it costly to fix the GB bearing?
and does it cause any problems that the sound?

[bennjamin]

As mentioned above Your issue sounds like the ISB (input shaft bearing) and is common with manual gearboxes with higher ks or more wear. At a guess you are looking at about $600 all up at a workshop incl. labour and parts to fix it.

The "noise" is metal on metal contact , and is essentially the bearing wearing out. So eventually it will fail. Dont leave it much longer get it fixed

i got quoted 1700 for a full recondition as i also have this problem... but u say 600?

That is , IF it is only the ISB. A full reco should include all main bearings and possibly new synchros etc.
BTW DIY guys including myself can do it alot cheaper here but this isnt about that. This is about what this guys issue is and what he is looking at.

lol, i reckon that's a normal price, i got one done at a workshop, replacing all syncros, bearings and seals, for $800, including labour, my price.

if people bring us the gearbox, we only charge 150 to replace the isb. Unless you guys are talking about full synchro replacements at the same time, the prices seem steep

[vinnY]

^^^
i'm pretty sure they're taking into account the cost to pull the gearbox off, replace the isb and put it back together again including parts
not everyone knows how to pull a gearbox out :)

wow only 150 to replace the isb? does that include removal and refitting cos that does seem cheap

that's if you bring the gearbox to him, so that doesn't including taking out the box, out of the car and putting it back it.

LOL... You charge $150 to change the bearing including the cost of the bearing & the input shaft seal that you root getting the bearing out?
& you you the correct sealant...
ROFL, what is it AK Charity works now?:p

[IEVAQ8]

yeh my price $1100 was for taking gear box out twice and replacing clutch once as well

[sw1fty]
