Jerm Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Ok i had a wagon and when i had it about 1200-1500 rpm it used to make this wierd jingleing sound... its wierd.. then i sold it.. and apparently the gearbox died on it about 2 months later i think my mate was thrashing it... Anyways mine started makign that wierd jingling sound a few weeks ago, and now just as i get off the mway on the way to work it started making this real fucked up sound... like the gearbox is fucked like a rattling... anyone had this prob before? i wa slate for work so didn't have time to fuck around and listen to it properly... It seemed to drive fine though... Could it just be possible i have a stone or something in the gb housing? cos i can't get the boot that covers the clutch fork to stay on.....?

Guest WESTCORT Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 cant say its happened to me bro... maybe it isnt bolted up tight? or something along those lines since you have just put your car back together, maybe havent torqued something up right?

Jerm Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Haha it was the starter motor all three bolts had came mega loose and the top one had fallen out ... it was the end of the starter motor hitting the flywheel which was making the rough niose.
