Hi campers, just wondering if anyone has any info on any problems with the gearboxes in 2011 colorado /dmax. I noticed a distinct rattle in 1st/2nd when idling under no load,like when you are crawling along a bush track,same in low range too, it really gets amplified if you go thru a drive thru as it bounces off the walls, everyone would turn around and look at us. noise has been there for some time but as we dont live near a dealer and there are no other noises,I let it go till next service.The gearbox works fine and is quiet except for those times. I took it into holden for its 20000km service and mentioned it ,here I am thinking they will tell me they cant hear it, but to my surprise, they rang me and said they have spoke to holden and said they have ordered a brand new gearbox for me.I asked what the problem was and said they didnt know,holden doesnt want it stripped and inspected, they are putting in a newie.
Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be, have searched internet and can only find old posts on a 4th gear gutter rail issue.
Thanks in advance for your info
ED
