200 Cup Gearbox seems noisy

[skiptontweed]

Hey Chaps,

The gearbox in my 200 Cup seems noisy, I think when its warmed up.

If Im on a light throttle I can hear chattering and when Im accelerating or coasting down in say, 5th, I can kind of "hear the gears" - it just sounds rough.

Is this normal? Has anybody else noticed this?
The car has done 5000 miles and I'm fairly careful with it - I don't rush gear changes or mash the throttle in 1st gear, so I'm a bit gutted if the gearbox is on its way out already.

i looked to mate all i can see is sound proofing the gear stick

Try Google Translator.

Essentially, he stuffs the gear aperture with sound deadening foam.

If I misunderstand the problem, I am sorry.
My English skill is not good ,sometimes I dont see what you are talking about.

Yes, I tried deadening around gear stick to reduce the noise from it.
In the same way, I stuffed inner dashboard, inner meterhood, inner doors and so on.

My Clio is a driving car but it also audio car for me. Deadnening is very important to prevent noise ,even very small noise for you.

I think the OP refers to the chattering, 'gear-y' noise that the gearbox makes when lifting off the throttle (i.e. engine braking). This has been discussed before on this forum and was found to be a characteristic of the TL4 gearbox.

Ofcourse, if the noise seems excessive it could signify a problem.

Thats what I was getting at really - if its a characteristic of the gearbox then I'm not worried about it. I did wonder if changing the gear oil might help.
Whats the best possible gear oil I could use?
