--- Quote from: JIMBOBLY on February 04, 2010, 20:47:24 ---sounds to me that the box hasnt been shimmed up properly,these shimms are to stop the shafts in the box from going backwards and forwards,this can be caused by the box not being tight enough,i.e not a thick enough shim,or to thick,and to tight,then loosening off after a few miles,if the noise is coming from the box as you say,but it does sound like either thrust bearing,or maybe the shaft that the bearing sits on,could be worn bad,causing the bearing to tilt slightly.

if the box was tight it wouldnt cause this, it has to be shimmed less to create excess backlas to cause " chatter "  in the box at the engine runs
i put money on being the release bearing

yeah true i spose,i was just goin on i had that happen on a customers motor before,it had been to tight,then after a few miles it had loosen because of excess wear on the main shaft,so they said,im not a gearbox expert,nor want,lol.

buster uk:
my military 110 chatters on idle,i thought it was a shagged centre bearing on mine but found it was ok.

ferret:
Its the little springs in the clutch. If the noise goes away when you gently increase the engine revs just turn the tickover up as it might be to low. Quite a common problem with clutches.

bogie:
Release bearing,mine done it for years,it was fine with the v8 in ,but soon as the tdi went in it clattered so i left it!!! Been like it years!!!
