rattling from gearbox

Post by **stepchow** » Mon Feb 10, 2003 8:04 pm

Hi there! When I have the car in gear and I accelerate hard, a rattling sound can be heard coming from the gearbox. There is no noise during idle.....just under hard acceleration. Any ideas where this can be coming from? Thanx!

shaft bearing might be worn. How many miles?

It has about 20000 kms. So about 12000 miles or so.

It could be the center counter shaft bearing this tends to be a bearing that recieves a great deal of load. But with that low of mlieage it could just be the exhaust hanger at the back of the trans being loose. I believe it has a hanger bolted to the trans mount.
