Tip top Gearbox noise
Me tintop (gearbox maybe) has developed a noise and I can't pin point it.
Renault dCi (6 speed), engine sounds sweet on tickover and when revved. I seem to be getting an awful noise (a weird graty rattle) when in gear at low
revs (i.e when there's the most vibration - any gear)
Sounds like it's coming from the gearbox, maybe driveshaft output, def from nearside anyhow. A good example is to put it in first and allow it
to pull itself along at tickover, this is when it does it most. Goes away at cruise, also seems to be more apparent when it's done a few miles
(i.e when gearbox oil is warm).
Not had chance to get it on the ramps today, but thing is I can only simulate the noise on the move. Anyone any ideas, has been drivin me nuts
today.
Cheers

As in made of chocolate. Likely to fall apart at the first sign of anything at all.

Youve got me worried now. my transit connect does exactly the same when pulling under its own power in 1st or second gear. What would happen to it if
left?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?
