Joanna K Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hello Just wanted to ask your opinion on something that came up on our recent test drive. After about a mile of driving, we heard a screetching noise that appears to be from the gearbox tunnel area, increasing with the speed. All gears engage and clutch operates correctly. With the windows opened we could barely hear any noise outside of the vehicle. after initial propshaft test in the garage there was no noise after turning the wheels. we are slightly confused where to look next before stripping the vehicle down again... any ideas? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 I would suspect the clutch/release bearing but how about driving it through the gears while on secure axle stands first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Johny, the clutch and release bearings are new. With the car placed on the axle stands we turned the propshaft with the first gear engaged and couldn’t hear anything. The next check will be to try the propshaft with the clutch pedal down. No idea where the problem is 🤷🏻♀️ could this be the new exhaust? Although I am sure we would hear the banging noise more from the outside too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 As I say, run the engine and drive through the gears. This should reproduce any problem seen on the road unless its related to actual load or rear suspension position. One thing, before doing this check that the drive shafts are not in contact with anything where they are hanging down... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 new clutch release bearings can chirrup and squeal as the new bearing being a little stiff skids on the diaphragm fingers this normally goes quiet when you touch the clutch pedal so there is firmer contact with the diaphragm fingers and the squeal will be engine speed related not any gear speed related to isolate any gearbox noises on some straight open road keep an eye on whats behind run up to 30/40 mph switch off engine drop clutch select thro all gears if no squeals its not gearbox start engine run though all gears does it sqeual does changing gears affect it does pressing the clutch affect it have a play let us know dont discount fan belts Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna K Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Evening, Thank you all for your suggestions, just wanted to let you know that we finally found the source of the problem… - faulty bearings in the extension 🤷🏻♀️ Managed to take the extension off with the gearbox still in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should at least be relatively quick fix compared to the whole gearbox. 😂 yes, a lot of “ffs” today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
