Hi Guys ,,
I am at your mercy once again and pulling my hair out here,, My gearbox started making a horrible clunking / mechanical noise and when i put it in drive nothing happened , then i revved it slightly and it slammed itself into gear,, the same happend in reverse,, an AA guy that i know came over and topped up the fluid level and it now gos into drive and reverse ok but i still have a bad noise. When car is in neutral there seems to be a rumbling noise like i can only describe as a bearing gone perhaps. It did get me home tho and changes through the gears fine, its just this horrible noise.. I phoned a transmission place and straight away they said new gearbox at a cost of 2 grand with a torque converter plus VAT. So i thought id ask here before i scrap it.
The car is a 200 clk on an S plate.
Many thanks guys for taking the trouble to read this
Hope someone can help as i really cant afford a new gearbox.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
