Hmmm good price. Going to get second opinion before doing anything though as the the car drives fine, gear changes are good
I'd have thought a dead or dieing gearbox would have problems changing gear? Like I say the car seems fine, apart from a scraping noise that comes and goes. I thought it may be wheel bearings but my mechanic says gearbox.
Cheers for the replies by the way.
I the noise comes and goes and gear selection is fine then i do doubt it is the gearbox internals (bearing in mind i haven't actually heard or tried it
). I would look to something rubbing on the gearbox, the selector mechanism, gearbox and engine mounts and also exhaust rubbing and also if something (debris from the road) has become lodged.
Do get the gearbox oil level topped up ASAP!
