Gearbox Noise

[daz1974]

Hi, Any advice is gratefully received :( . I changed the DMF and clutch on my 02 1.9Tdi galaxy on Saturday to the solid conversation because I believed the rattle on tick over was the dual mass. After I'd finished started it up and the rattle is still there :40: . I've been told that it is either crank bearings or input shafts on gearbox (the noise stops when i depress clutch). Would you guys agree if not what could it be, it also stops when I rev to 1750rpm.

Many thanks Daz

Ahh an expensive mistake.

 

Check make sure you have the correct grade of oil and level on box, chatter on tick over generally nothing to worry about if transmission is quiet at other times E.G no moaning groaning noises when lifting on and off the gas smooth gear change etc.

 

Interesting you went for the solid conversion as other members have had problems when doing this or have been put off trying the solid flywheel.

I converted my friends Mk4 Golf TDI to single mass using a G60 flywheel and vr6 clutch, and there was a bit of clutch chatter at idle. Nothing too bad, but definately noticeable.

 

Funnily enough we done the same on my other friends Mk4 Golf 1.8t and no noise at idle, totally silent!! Must put this down to the extra vibration the TDI kicks out.

I have checked the gearbox oil and its at the correct level but ive decided to give it an oil change anyway. No problems with changing dual mass to solid done this with mondeo's as well and so far all gone well.

Not having the best time at the minute with the old girl, changed top bushe and bearing on front leg yesterday and now it's gain a rather excessive oil leak :-( , so waiting for new shockers. Wouldn't mind but engine is a good one and i love driving her but she's testing my patience at the minute.
