Some time ago I posted on here about whining from the gearbox in all gears except top. The consensus was that main bearing was shot in the gearbox.
I happened upon a NOS gearbox; still in the box with rover labels never fitted to a car. I fitted this, refurbished the linkage, fitted a new clutch, rebuilt the clutch master and fitted a new clutch slave. Also adjusted the clutch arm according to the book.
Guess what ? Its exactly the bloody same as the old box.
1) The box is noisy in 1st ,2nd and 3rd
2) When cruising on the motorway its noisy when coming off the power, goes quiet when power is applied again.
3) After a run and going into idle, the release bearing or input shaft is noisy; it goes quiet when the clutch is depressed.
The drive train feels very agricultural. I have never driven another P6 but find it hard to believe this is normal.
What's wrong ?
