GQ Gearbox Noise

Thrust Bearing?

Thrust Bearing. Gearbox has to come out to replace. Think about doing the clutch as well when its all out.

I think it's the input shaft bearing. If it was the thrust bearing it would be noisy with the clutch pedal down, and quiet with it out. I had one the same, probably should have got it fixed, never did and it stayed that way for about 5 years and 240k. Never seemed to get any noisier and after a while you don't notice it. Either way it's a gearbox out job to fix it. Cheers....

If the noise dissapears when you press the clutch, then it is NOT the thrust bearing.

When you press the clutch the gearbox stops.

It is common for these gearbox to cutter when ideling and also at low rpm (driving), what makes the noise worse is when the clutch disk springs become soft and allow vibration to be transmitted from the engine to the gearbox.

Without listening to the noise it is hard to diagnose.
