Possible Gear Box Fault

[Trislander]

Ok I've started new thread see what u guys think

Now have a "shaky" drive

Feels like a wobbling car while driving there is a slight "wearing" noise (usually if wheel bearing is gone but its not that) it is clunky during gear selection but its always been like that since I've had it (2 years) mechanic thinks gearbox problem

Would it be complete change of specific fault which could be repaired cheaper? Any thoughts ?

One thing to add (probably unrelated) if engine at idle in neutral ticks over fine if revved to about 1100rpm slight vibration and wobbly feeling over that seems to rev fine no "wobbling"

[Trislander]

Just been told could be driveshaft

Mechanic had it off yesterday and put back on wondering if he's disturbed something and its causing it to shake while driving?

Seems odd that its only happened since then rather than gearbox

Was this A genuine MAF or one of those thirty quid ones on ebay, from experience they are worse than the one your replacing is it a pierburg or bosch.

Probably inner cv joints knackered.

Genuine Bosch maf

Just been told its the diff in gearbox so new gearbox :-(

Don't dispute what you say but first one I've heard of with diff problems and the symptoms your describing don't sound like diff either.

Be sure get a second opinion before splashing out on gearboxes.

As I said the CV joints are a common problem, another thing that would give you shuddering shaking vibration is the duel mass flywheel.

Check the (gearbox mounted)  engine roll restrictor is not loose or bolt sheared. Common problem.

as seat kid says,you can check this yourself.with the engine off open bonnet grab hold of the engine block and try and rock it,if it moves easily then its looking like the roll restrictor.

I have to ask, did it fix it?

[Trislander]

Yes it did but costly
