loose noise coming from gbox :|

[aarong420]

I'm having some trouble figuring out whats wrong with my g-box. when the car is on and not in gear, it would sometimes make a noise as though something was bouncing around in there!! A very light noise..
When i give it a small rev,...on acceleration it makes NO NOISE, but when its decelerating the noise comes in.....a little worse than idle. It sounds like if a stone or sumthing is in there, but why wouldnt it make noise when its being accelerated?

if anyone has any idea what this may be please help, i dont wanna ruin my gbox, if its not already

Also what the correct way to topup and check for the rite level of fluid in a 20V gbox?

Sounds more like a loose heat shield to me.. but you never know.

[aarong420]

na it aint the heatshield.....that would be a more ratteling noise... this noise sounds like every so often with vibration, sumthing would touch slighty...was thinking maby the release bearing was bad, cuz i didnt change it when i replaced the clutch....but i cant find any to buy here, is there any other release bearing i can use?

[freakinbox]

wheel bearing?

Does it only do it when the car is moving?

[aarong420]

auh, no man...sounds nothing like a bad wheel bearing...
ok picture this...drop a stone into a blender....hear the noise it makes, a kinda screwd up noise....well its the same noise, just not constant, its a once in a while, "especially when decelerating"

im as confused as everyone elce reading this thread..

BTW, is there a check oil level anywhere for the 20V gearbox?...how would i know if its too full or too little? are there any marks anywhere?

remove all of the mounting screws / nuts and remove glove box, inspect and then reinstall properly tightening everything down. Should be good to go,

[aarong420]

mind my lack of knowladge...the glovebox will be the part with all the gears inside i take it?.....you sure nuthing will come flying out.? And would i have to take down the whole box for this?
