i wrote recently about my gears popping out when i take my foot off the gas.
today, i filled it up at the garage, then on the way home it started juddering like the engine was missing, or the drive was slipping.
then when i turned the radio off i realised how AMAZINGLY bad it sounded lol.

say im driving at 30 in 3rd, or 4th, take my foot off the gas and roll with the clutch up the car just whines rle rle loudly. ppl look at me in confusion lol.

i think its the gear box cuz now its gettin harder to get it in gear, earlier i couldnt even move the gear stick left pass thrid to find 1st or 2nd.

i can see this costing A LOT and im so poor and in debt right nw. this is the worse time for it to happen.

does any1 have nay idea if im right in thinkin its the gearbox?
or any advice, please lol.

Hate to say it, but it does sound like the gearbox may have gone...

I guess that 1.0 engine couldn't take no more of the thrashings it gets by the sounds of it!

lol i no!!!! talk about "i told ya so"
in all honesty though, i made it sound worse than it is, i rle dont thrash it, just drive fats on the motorways. i dont rally it locally like take mad bends or mad pull aways or anythin, i drive quite well.

i think it was already on its way, but i guess i dont exactly drive like a nun,

just took it round the block, didnt even ,make it back lol.
it sounds like a sack of s**t.

the only way i can explain it, is, imagine a big bucket of bolts bein shaken, thats how my car sounds, and to make things worse, eveyr now and then you jear sum guy SMACK the bucket with a sledge hammer. i hear that sometimes too lol.

and if you manage to get this bucket of bolts fats enough, when i take my foot off the clutch it just WHIIIIIIIIINES lol.
there was loadsa cars around, was so embaressin, i had a big hill to get back and couldnt even make it back up it.
it prob would have gone if i had pushed it, but these noises are so bad i was scared if i didnt stop there and then every single part of the engine would have just fallen out in THOUSANDS of lil pieces all over the road. lol
im so screwed

If it is as bad as it sounds, then I'd suggest you stop driving it.

Could be ur clutch too m8. £500 would get u a reconditioned gearbox. Then fitting. Welcome to the world of debit Im curently stuck in alot

lol dont worry ive stopped driving it.
i didnt drive it when i shouldnt have.
it suddenly sounded bad at like 6, i stopped drivin, took it on a 30 second drive up n down my lil road, then stopped. tried one more time and it had had it.

i didnt over do it in a bad condition, was too sudden.

and i cant do anythin though!!!! im only 17 so cant get credit, and im out of work and i owe my paretns loads so they wont help me lol. i am officially STUFFED.

Your bearing have gone in your diff mate.

Get to a breakers yard, get a 2nd hand box = £200 at most.

Get it fitted, this will take a good mechanic about 4 hours to do it properly = 100-200 depending

Sell your old box to a reconditioners for about £40

thanx 4 the advice!!!
wots a diff, n wen u say get a 2nd hand box, u mean gear box? lol sorri i dont no much bout it all

ok rung my friend today, with what i explained he said it could be the oil in the gearbox has run low, which would cause it to start popping out of 5th as this is the highest gear so 1st to be effected.

hes qouted me 280 for parts and like a cuple hundred for labour or summit, guna run it round to him l8a 4 a full diagnostics.
let ya no how it goes!!

The number of people who said oil to me..... it's not.

The bearings are poorly designed and your are showing the exact same symptoms as mine when they went in my box.

When I say diff I mean, differential, simply put it lets your wheels turn at different speeds, and yes I mean gearbox when I say box.
