Have I got a problem with gearbox? My gearbox is making strange noises. What could be the issue?
Unusual noises from a gearbox such as grinding, and whistling can indicate that your gearbox is worn. The problem could be minor, such as a bearing needs changing or it could signal more serious damage. The best thing to do is get your gearbox inspected by a gearbox specialist, such as Torquay Transmissions.
How can I check if the gearbox fluid is OK?
