Whining noise from gearbox (perhaps)
Right everybody, ive got a whining noise and i think its coming from my gearbox, but I could be wrong. To save writing a story, here are the points of what is going on.
- Only occurs whilst moving.
- Goes away when I push my clutch in.
- Doesn't occur when idling, with clutch in or out.
- I can "feel" the noise on the gearstick.
- Started happening all of a sudden.
Can anyone suggest anything as to what it is....please??

well the oil got drained today and it was full of metal filings.
oh dear.
it started poping out of gears on the way home and two honest garages have just said get an new box. i agree with them
i can get one from salvo for about £100, dont fancy doing the job myself though,
thanks for the replies though...

lol, yep, when your rwd diff decides to lockup, but your gearbox wants to keep going there's only going to be loosers. Never seen a complete gearbox casing shear in half before and throw the contents out the sides at 120. Was pretty scary!volvo-bigbrother wrote:
Or a big bang while doing 120mph on the motorway with cogs flying everywhere eh Stu?
Bad news Suddy. If you need a hand, drop me a line, have swapped a few boxes before (abiet never a Volvo luckily!).

well the 2nd hand salvo box is in..
it had been whining (slightly- nothing like before) since i got it, in 2nd and 3rd, so today i dropped the gear oil and filled it with the £40 volvo stuff.
the stuff that came out was like paint, not full of big metal filings, but it had a metallic tinge to it.
do you reckon its time for a recon box this time, or just put up with it till i get a turbo?
does anyone elses m60 whine?

I remember Ally saying that his 2.0 seemed to have a bit of gearbox whine and that was quite some time ago- to the best of my knowledge it is still fine.
Maybe its a common thing?
