Hi all well this morning ive noticed my car makes a rather loud whine in 1st gear and 1st gear only. is this a common noise on this car or is it sign of gearbox about to give up the ghost, doesnt make a single noise in any other gear that ive noticed and drives lovely did notice its hard to get into first gear some times as well but fine in all other gears.

if its the gearbox on the way out, whats my best option as far as getting it fixed or replaced goes? Second hand gear box ( may be faulty again )

recon gear box
Uprated gear box maybe to a different scooby box?

and what sort of prices am i looking at including fitting etc, cheers guys and girls.

 

been advised that it mayb fine and just want some good gear box oil as its not jumping out of gears crunchin and fine in all other gears? whats your opinions on that? and any one point me in the way of decent gearbox oil for my 98 uk turbo?

 

any one help me on this? can i get an sti box fitted or does that entale more work ie diffs etc.? wsant something thats likely to last a bit longer

 

Silkolene Silktrans Syn5 (75/90)is a good gear oil to use..
