Facelift k11 gearbox.

[Steve Hastings]

Hi guys. Just bought a 1.0 k11. The gearbox is noisey. The oil has been changed and it's still noisey. It's not too bad at the mo but sometime soon I think it's going to give up. So I'm after a low mileage manual box if anyone has one thanks,

Is it a noisy gearbox, or a noisy thrust bearing? Does the noise vanish if it's not under load/the clutch is down?

 

[Steve Hastings]

Yeah as soon as I push the clutch down it dissapears. The bite on the clutch is probably about between 1/2 and 3/4 up the pedal. Also I think the spring has gone in the linkage as the stick doesn't return to the center and wobbles about abit when in gear. And when I wiggle the stick I can hear a rattle underneath.
If it is the clutch it would be a lot less hassle!!

^ Clutch Release bearing if it goes when you press the clutch down. Mines does that .

Stick moving rattle mines had done that the return spring to center the stick had snapped and was loose and when I wiggled the stick it hit on the heat shield

if its that coilpack k11 you mentioned steve ? then its a different g/box to the pre 2000 ones btw
and is it noisy while moving ?

I'd try a new clutch and thrust bearing before I went for a new gearbox, if I were you. And the return spring can be reattached to where it fell from. I keep meaning to do mine, and junk the loose heat shield, but you know how it is when you're a lazy bugger

the thrust bearing is only making contact when the pedal is down

Though it was the clutch release bearing if it disappears when you push the clutch pedal down frank no?

it should,nt be spinning/making contact when the clutch is up really mate (and as a result noiseless)

 

[Steve Hastings]

Thanks guys. We're going to get it up on the ramps in the week and have a look underneath. If it's only the clutch that would be a result cause when I bought I budgeted for a new box'

because when you push the clutch down to select 1st gear the gear clusters stop spinning, and no noise then would indicate shaft bearings

Hi mate yeah it's a 2002 and it's got a coil pack, the noise is always there when driving except between gear changes

My mum's second facelift got two years old aftermarket clutch so it's getting tough to changing these gears. I tho it was almost worn out clutch. I need to check this problem.

My GX got two years old aftermarket clutch. It's still going strong.
