    gearbox noisey in 1st 3rd and 5th gear

    Hi all, I have just gone out for a spin in my 3b coupe and a whinning noise comming from the gearbox but not in 2nd or 4th gear. I have not used the car for a few weeks now but never heard this noise before, I'm not sure if its clutch or gearbo, has anyone experienced this before?

    i think your gear selector lever is touching something on the chasis when you push the lever forward...actualy...the gearbox lever goes bacwards when you try to engage 1,3 and 5 th gear...
    check there first!
    goodluck!

        Had this recently last week in fact ! It may be the rubber sleeve under the gear lever mine is torn hence why I could hear loads of grating and grinding noise ! It was in fact the road noise from under the car
