IM LOOKING TO BUY A 1998 UK 2000 TURBO, THE GEARBOX IS MAKING A TAPPING/CLICKING ONLY IN 1ST GEAR.. IS IT NEW BOX TIME OR CAN THE COGS INSIDE BE REPLACED?

IF ANYONE COULD GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ASAP IT WOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS
GREG

 

is it when stationary and selecting 1st or when driving at slow speeds/turning/full lock etc etc

 

IT IS WHEN ITS DRIVEN AT LOW SPEED IN 1ST, I HAVENT GONE OVER 1500 TO 2000 RPM JUST IN CASE! NOT TOO SURE ON CORNERING IN 1ST.. ONLY BEEN PULLING OFF GENTLY AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND ROUNDABOUTS THEN STRAIGHT INTO 2ND!

 

check wheel bearing and c.v, also when u go from forward to reverse you can get pad movement in the caliper which can cause a click/clonk noise lol

 

THIS IS DEFO COMING FROM THE GEARBOX, JUST WONDERING IF IT CAN BE FIXED INTERNALLY, OR IF A REPLACEMENT BOX IS EASIER

 

take the CAP LOCK off lmao.... if u havent brought it mate,stay clear there is plenty of good ones about.

 

ok lol caps lock off! trust me the car is absolutley gorgeous.. i have been looking for a while now and this tick all the right boxes apart from this god damn little noise. ill get some pics uploaded when i can and you can see for yourself! lol

 

ear plugs are out now(cap lock) lol lol sound get some pics up loaded , use photo bucket and copy the img code

 

if u think the car is worth it give api a ring, it may have spat a tooth on 1st if its that loud , but be warned you may be looking at a rebuild so allow yourself a budget for that .

 

have a lil sneek preview of her... only one i got at the moment

 

does look nice mate

 

api 01926 614522 ask to speak to david sure he will put u right

 

your a star mate! thanks
