Subject: Loud whine from gearbox on overrun? Chaps, the gearbox in my 16/80 recently started making a loud whine when easing off the throttle. It sounds as it always has done when accelerating or under power but the instant I lift off or coast it whines. It has certainly become loud enough for me think it’s not normal. Any thoughts on what may be causing this? Thanks Rich... |

Subject: Re: Loud whine from gearbox on overrun? I would start by checking the propshaft. Recently replaced the prop on my 2 Litre with a new item with modern Hardy Spicer universal joints. The car is certainly quieter and an annoying vibration has disappeared. Best regards Mark |

Subject: Re: Loud whine from gearbox on overrun? Hi Richard, Jumping across from the facebook page, can you look whether your manual box replacement for the ENV 110 is a "Z" or and "OH" box? They both fit but I would like to see pictures of your chassis as well If you lift the floor and take a photo which you can post on this or the Facebook site, I can tell you which one you have. If it is an OH box it might be the layshaft bearings which I replaced on my box. Colin |
