Hey guys,

Have an AUII XR6, 5 speed. Its making a clicking noise in 1st and 2nd, then in 3rd its like a helecopter which resonates on the whole body, and then clicking noise again for 4th and 5th gear. Is this the sound of a dead gearbox?... it sounds like its coming from the front of the box/back of the engine. It's the misses car and has pretty minimal noise.

Any suggestions guys?

Much appreciated.

Thanks, Ross.

have you checked the oil in the box??

but what you describe sounds like a dying box

top up the oil and add more sound deadening

Mines fairly noisy but doesn't click or resonate. Wouldn't hurt to also check the driveline.

if the box is that bad you could buy a better one second hand for half the price of reconditioning, note this is only cheap at the time. Half the money = half the gearbox. Also the more worn the box the more to reco = more cost.
