2.8TD Gearbox noise

[Darwin_GQ]

Hi Guys


Just came back from a trip up to Cape York. It was awesome. Drove all the good tracks eg. OTL, Frenchmans - went to Lakefield, Iron Range, Captain Billy and heaps of other places. Me and my girlfriend were the youngest people we saw travelling (we are 23 & 19).

Didnt have a single problem with my GQ 2.8TD Patrol it did everything perfect.

But for the last 6 months I have had this gearbox grinding sort of sound. Everything works fine just when you let the clutch out and start moving you hear this sort of a grind sound come from the gearbox/clutch. It also can be heard when i am driving very slow at low revs. As soon as the revs get up a bit, the sound is gone and every thing is perfect.

You can also hear the same sort of sound with the engine running and the car not moving , and gently trying to select a gear with the clutch not depressed.

What do you guys reckon it could be?
What should I do about it?

Cheers

Jason

Clutch / gearbox thrust race bearing. Dont stress mine has done it for 50,000km. Might want to put it on the to do list though!

Inside the gearbox or the the clutch thrust bearing or spigot bearing?

Thanks
