5Th Gear Whine On Deceleration

[trevort]

This is my first post anywhere so please bear with me,

 

 

1.9TDI PD 2004 VW Sharan 130 bhp

 

I have owned my car for 2 years, low mileage at 65k. (Was 39k on purchase)

 

From the early days changing gear require care,  if you change quickly you get a clunk,  slowly and its ok, take care releasing clutch pedal and its sweet.

 

Now I have a whine in 5th gear on deceleration.  From what I have found so far this need sorting NOW

 

It is the gearbox, I am sure.

 

Its not clutch related (Thrust bearing etc)

 

Any suggestions,  or Any ideas of the cost if fitting a new gearbox..

 

What is likely to be the scale of the issue,  I have always felt the clunk on fast gear change was likely to be a selector issue,  But as like I say slow change the cluck and snatch issue does not exist.

 

Any suggestions as to a good transmition / gearbox specialist near Basingstoke Hampshire

 

 

Thanks

My Alhambra has exactly the same 5th gear whine when lifting off.  Has done it for at least the last 10,000 miles since we got the car.  I tend to drive around it using 4th / 6th for the most part.

OK So Car Went to B.K transmitions for repair.

 

New bearing on 5th reqd to cure the whine.

Also splines damaged, drivers side stub shaft, and short inner drive shaft.

Syncro on 3rd (Now changes without a large clunk)

Dual mass flywheel also badly worn, (Only done about 47k, It was changed by VW at 17 under a recall Car now 64K)

Pitmarks also found on face of Concentric Slave Cylinder (Thrust bearing)

Clutch plate, And Pressure plate changed (But only because you may as well do this not your this far in)

 

Car now seems good,  An expensive fix,  but dread to think what VW would have charged,  And my cars is worth it.

 

Having checked all parts, And reviewed the net comments I am amazed that any manufacturer would ever fit DMFs,  A poorly engineered solution to prevent gearbox damage. Concept may be sound, but better bearings/bushes should be in place by now,  These DMFs appeared to be failing the same way today as they did ten years ago.!

 

Would not purchase another car with a DMF
