Hey guys,
My transmission has been on the rocks for just over a year - making a sputtering-like noise when not accelerating, clutch is engaged and in gears 1 and 2. The noise has just recently turned into metal on metal noise in the lower gears (can feel it through the clutch), and a sputtering like noise has moved all the way into 4th gear. Also, shifting in the lower gears has become a bit "stickier" and makes a rip-cord noise from 1 to 2.
Do you guys see an easy fix for this one?
What gearbox is in my car right now? M56H? I'm preparing for the worst, and whenever I do I try and add a silver lining by upgrading the things on my car that fail... so I was thinking of heading to a FWD M66.
My questions are around what other parts would need to be swapped when making the upgrade - flywheel, gear linkage, slave cylinder etc? Since my car is a P2, will any of this have to change? I've started my research but would like to hear your feedback.
Or should I just grab another M56H?
