Gearbox sound and kick back

[Zidane]

Guys,



A few months back, my car (Ford TX3 Sampan 1.8) was making a grumbling sound. It was very scary, loud rough sound. However, every time I pressed the clutch, the sound would disappear. And after the car warms up, the sound would slowly decrease but not disappear. And during the same time, when I take the car out for a spin at gear 5, the gear would kick back to neutral. Plus there is a sound of a washing machine spinning at the same gear.



Currently, the washing machine spinning sound has gone to 3rd and 4th gear also.



My mechanic says that I have to change the gearbox. But I just want to know of any alternative possibilities. Or whether you have had any experiences.



Regards,

dude, my gearbox had some probs b4 too...about the kicking back thing, i think it's the locketing device that should lock the gear shaft in place...it's a ball bearing and a spring...there's 3 of them...each for one shaft...as u know there's 3 shaft in the gearbox...about the sound that ur gearbox make, im not very sure, but it's old, that's kindda like normal...would u like to go to another workshop and getting it overhaul...

as we know nowdays, ppl i mean mechanics does not preffer to overhaul the gearbox...it's easier to get a new one and just change it.in most occasion it cost u less.

i think ur gearbox hav the problem wif the dogteeth @ Synchronizer ring or the gears itself...cause both of them could be worn out.the last time, my synchronizer ring broke into 3 piece...

to overhaul the gearbox, u just have to pray for the parts lah.lucky for the the dogteeth is available...would u like to try and ask about the overhaul proses?...maybe, i just say maybe it will cost u less then getting a new gearbox...as u know, the gearbox is kindda like rare...extinct species...hehe...call me if u r interested...i can bring u to my pomen, and hopefully he could help...016-9708625...azri...
