I have a noisy layshaft bearing on the gearbox, have done since I bought the car. I am told it is nothing to worry about but when my clutch is changed (still on original) I was thinking of having it done.
My mechanic said not to bother though as it will probably make the noise again. Anyone had theirs sorted? Kevin |

Speak to Will at Kent Transmissions.
Full rebuild will cost circa £200. A search of the site should give you a number. |

Kevin,
I suppose it depends on how bad yours is. I had my 'box rebuilt by the person Dave (215dmx) mentioned above. I can still hear the bearing rumble though. It is many many times quiteer than before. My box was very tired before build. Cost around £220 IIRC |

We had our gear box rebuilt by mosely motorsport after the layshaft started to get noisy, had the clutch replaced as well. Hasn't made a noise since.
