This rattling in my gearbox...

[Lars L]

(LT77 military version) has a tendeny to get worse. It sometimes makes an almost ringing noise and has done that for quite some time. Accelerating, coasting or engine braking, it's there all the time and in all gears. Mostly heard when going slow, like 30-40 mph in fourth gear.

Everything else, like shifting and general function, works A OK. Does anybody with more experience than me "been there, done that" and could share some wisdom with me?

(I have a feeling that I've been asking away lately, but I do try to contribute whenever I can. )

Although is not exactly the same GB, have a look at this thread: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=13943

My GB was noisy only in 4th and only when accelerating. There are 2 sound recordings in 1st post that might be of help.

Had something similar on mine a while back - I found it was the gearlever slightly loose on it's stalk - tighted up the nut (under the main gaiter - 17mm I think) which sorted it.

Of course, on yours it may be something completely different...

It's still there even if I grab the lever...

Is it still there if you apply a little pressure to the clutch pedal? could be a/some broken fingers on the clutch cover plate.

The cover plate is quite new, but I'll make a note to check again tomorrow.
