You know what really grinds my gears?

Hello, welcome.

 

Thank you for being here.

 

I've got a constant rattle through all the gears in my BH5, whether the clutch is in or out doesn't change anything. The clutch is not that old. It doesn't become more or less quiet with heat either. It also doesn't change over a period of time.

 

Whether coasting in neutral or under load, at any speed there's what seems like either dry bearings rattling or something that's spinning which is loose etc you get the idea. From my research it seems it's to do with the bearings in the transmission. I searched videos and read forums diagnosing what relates to my problem specifically. The video link below is a YouTube video of a countershaft bearing which needs replacing and sounds exactly like what my problem is.

 

 

Question. Does anyone know a guy of a guy who has the equipment to replace this for me. Or at least correctly diagnose my issue because I'm at a loss. Moneychanics are so F***ing expensive with this kind of thing because it's on charge up cost.

 

It literally makes me want to throw the car in the rubbish (Figuratively speaking). I'm somewhat OCD so this really grinds my gears. Ha. Ha.

 

Cheers guys.

Have been in this car, story checks out haha. Very odd. 

 

When was the clutch done, it sounded more flywheel/clutch/spigot/thrust bearing location but super hard to tell. If the thrust and spigot bearing were not replaced with the clutch it could be that? But I think you might be right in assuming its something going bad in the gearbox... It might be cheaper to bin the trans and pickup a lower milage one. 5 Speeds can be had for $300-400 these days and then its just a straight swap, rather than full teardown and diagnosis. 

 

Could flick the old one off as noisy but functioning to get some cash back. 

 

Hope others on here can chime in as i'm mostly lost on this too

Hey man. Can't thank you enough for putting time aside to help me understand my cars tune. I feel more assured I won't break anything now. (Or yet) for the time being anyway.

My moneychanic has had the gearbox out twice now. Once when he did the clutch about 20k k's ago and recently when he replaced the engine. The gearbox has had a lot of strain on it with the hks kit I guess. But surely he lubricated the bearings etc at the time of removal. Who knows.

Does the aftermarket clutch plate have a solid center or springs.Mechanic talked me into a solid center clutch plate and said if I didn’t like it,he’d replace it no charge.Quick test drive,gearbox rattle was unbearable,returned car,picked up car next day with new sprung center clutch.

Maybe not your issue,but it looks like your going to have to drop your gearbox to find the problem.Would pay to have a replacement gearbox ready if needed.Ask here for a recommended Subaru mechanic in your area.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
