Hodge's new 4.2

[Rocket55]

It's a patrol thing mate, from what I've read there's bugger all that can be done.

People have said they can fix it with new "things" in the gearbox, but have then commented that the noise returns within about 10,000km. On the other forum there is talk about using different oils and/or additives in it which can help, search for "gearbox rollover". Lots of theories, not many consistent results unfortunately.

Yeah I was aware it was a Patrol thing, and since I bitched about it after I bought this car in the early days I've since learnt to live with it. Although, it somewhat eased up in warmer months. As I mentioned above it's showed it's ugly head with a whole new level in recent cold weather and it's really bad this time... I'm positive it's gone worse since last winter. May have something to do with the oil change in the gear box...

I wonder if I can quieten it down, like i did the engine with the 2T addition lol.

Add some Nulon oil treatment to the gearbox. See if it works. I've been using this stuff for probably 20 years. Definitely helps with a box with some age to it. Certainly wont hurt anyway if it doesn't help.

I'll give it a shot Mark. Anything to attempt to remedy this.

To be honest I dont think you will resolve this. If it is the usual drivetrain chatter, then you just put up with it. Or give it some more berries when you take off. Don't almost stall it, then take off. As with mine the box will chatter like yours if I dont give it a few higher rpm when taking off.

Would be wrong to call this noise "chatter". Best I would describe it is like having tin cans full of nuts and bolts rolling around inside "somewhere" under the car when certain conditions are met like the car labouring under lower revs...
Been reading a lot about the pinion angle and I think Mat is onto something personally.

Do Moreys do a gearbox additive suitable for your problem.
Good to see the IC showed up, no dents ???

They do package them well don't they, a few others could learn from them.

Just make sure you cut the hole in the bonnet in the right spot... Don't want to get that wrong.
