final drive gear box noise?
Posted: 30 Aug 2019, 14:15
hi all, a mechanical queiry for those with a better ear then me!.
ive got a fast rummbly bearing noise coming from gear box type area, started/noticed it on way back from croatia, and is slowly but stedidly getting louder. not terrible yet but noticable. seems to occur in all gears whenever the accelerator is pressed and is generally constant when driving (noise dissapears when freewheeling in gear).
All gears can be selected fine and drives fine except for rumble when using accelerator when in gear.
im suspecting clutch bearings or final drive, and am hoping to head of any further damage or expensive rebuilds.
oh also noise doesnt seem to change much with engine speed.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
