Gearbox bearings. Had the same problem - bought a new rebuilt box and it's fine.

or isit a hole in your exhaust?

P.S Trav love the new avatar

Definetely sounds to me like the gearbox. Replace the throw-out bearing in the clutch while ur at it too, as this tends to get quite noisy after a while.

Yup its the gearbox, went through the same problem as Klay, $1200 for me!

On the plus side, the gearbox should last another 250,000kms

Yeh bloody oath - you will definetely notice the difference. Feels and sounds like a brand new car

But yes... very much so on the expensive side.

I go my new one through Hon Bits for $1,000 - 02 9725 2611

the dreaded Si gearbox of doom.
replace it with a VTi box and driveshafts.
