I changed the gearbox oil, but no change. I am thinking it is either the gearbox input shaft or clutch release bearing. I am hoping the release bearing, 'cause it will be much more simple to fix!! < Message edited by legnum nick -- 11/5/2004 4:39:28 PM > _____________________________ www.clubvr4.com (in reply to 1398spdr) Post #: 5
