Main Shaft bearing

<< < (2/3) > >>

fish:
I was told main shaft bearing wear was identified by no noise with clutch in and noise when out, is this correct?

well without hearing it not 100% sure but id be surprised if it wasnt the release bearing

puddled:
sounds like new box then, I know its not the release bearing as that was done recently with the clutch and fork.  Noticed the shaft was a little loose then but left it at time.

Now where did I put that piggy bank and the universal key........

Range Rover Blues:
Was the noise there before the new clutch? as I'd be surprised in mainshaft bearing wear came on that quickly.  Don't worry about a little play in the input, it's meant to be there, the pilot (spigot) bearing takes care of that.

It wouldn't be the first time a new clutch realease bearing had failed.

With engine running and foot off clutch, you get the noise, yes

With clutch fully down the noise stops if I understand you

try putting some pressure on the clutch, not enough to release it, about half as much.  Do you get the noise then?

Do you get the noise whilst the car is moving?

Finally for £700 I'd want a recon Ashcroft box with shift enhancements, new clutch and fitting with a 1 year guarantee on all the work and parts.

Oh and a courtesy car.

puddled:
Noise has been there a while, only really apparant while driving, ie putting drive to the wheels, it was present before the clutch change
