To be honest i dont know as i only just got the car about 6 weeks ago, there doesnt seem to be any noise when clutch is dipped when in nuetrel, the noise comes and goes and only in fifth gear, it will run fine for days then the noise appears and will be like that for few days then goes away again, got me a bit worried what with the mechanic saying gearbox could be on way out, its only done 82'000miles or so the clock says. junior
