has anyone broke 3rd gear in o2m 6 speed with 350 lb/ft ?

mine has started to make a odd noise coming down the gears into 3rd as i release the clutch ( bit like a woooo sound ? :shrug::D ) i cannot get it to make the noise in any other gear ?

everything feels normal and aint notchy or crunchy even driven hard ?

broke one with less power on the octy... to be fair it was already shagged when I bought the thing, crunching in 3rd... then it jammed in 3rd when I think the selector fork snapped inside.

Does it get worse when your coasting in gear or when it's under load?
Might be the diff fu*ked.

it only makes a noise/vibration when i release the clutch peddle coming down the box ?

everything else is normal ? no crunching, easy gear selection, etc ?

Interesting, I did a complete build on my car in January pulled out of the drive and there was this clicking sound coming from the gearbox. Took it to the gearbox man opened it and found out the pinion where the 1,3&4 gear sits had one of its gears chipped and this was while the car was still under running in using only actuator pressure...

Not sure if you'll find anything when changing your gearbox oil cause there is a Magnet on the inside that traps any iron particles. Give it a go anyway.

the dodgy noise has started to apear in 4th and 5th now (since i changed the oil), it dont make the noise until its warmed up ?

gear selection is still fine, it makes the noise coming down the box when you feed the clutch in ?

i couldnt see any swarf in the oil that came out:shrug:
