Hi.

bought this bit of a ****ter wrx wagon cheap

now ended up removing box again to check all, doing my head in

So I replaced bollocksed gearbox (with a good one working, no noise), clutch fork , release bearing and fw bearing. I reused his existing clutch and fw

there was a noise and vibration through the clutch pedal when fully pressed to the floor. Whilst in gear and especially if blipping the throttle

any ideas please?

thanks

 

bump

 

This is really driving me mad !

Removed the gearbox, replaced clutch with new exedy and new flywheel, new pilot bearing and new cluch release bearing. test drove, still no better

Mechanic advised could be engine mounts, replaced with new oem mounts. Still same

To drive its a really bad knocking under load, like its waiting for something to go bang

Engine does not knock at idle, quite quiet

gearbox has correct millers oil

Vibrations can be felt badly through depressed clutch at bite point and with hand on gear stick

Thanks in advance

 

When you pulled the engine, how was the free-play in the input shaft? Sounds like it could potentially be the input shaft bearing has worn out or collapsed.
does it sound like a gravelly rattle with the clutch pushed in?

 

What state was the clutch fork in?

 

Sorry for late reply

Play which way, up and down or in and out?

Ive pulled that 4.44 box out now and bought a 4.11 and after all the work of changing that and diff ive still got the same bloody noise
