Hi all,
So since running through a good few pretty big puddles (could simply be coincidence but thought I'd better mention it) with a boot disintegrated on the inner passenger driveshaft CV (again could be coincidence) I have now got a whining/griding noise through most gears. It's hard to tell if it's in first but definitely through 2nd to 5th. It's only on driving i.e. acceleration or deceleration. Goes quiet when transitioning from acceleration to deceleration and back. Makes the tiniest noise when out of gear or clutch engaged. Jacked the car up and ran the engine in 3rd/4th/5th and it definitely sounds like it's coming from inside the gearbox somewhere, and doesn't seem to change much if you stop one wheel or the other from turning, but does change the sound a little. It can be felt through the gear stick, the steering wheel and the floorboards lol. Also where the boot has perished the grease is still present and correct and feels nice and sticky and slippery and as you would expect. Also fully changed the oil in case that was the problem.
I do have a new boot and grease for the inner cv, and further exploratory work to do such as removing the driveshafts and see if the noise persists.
Was hoping for some advice before I start randomly replacing parts. I've found a bearing overhaul kit of some description which seems to pertain to the diff? And there appears to maybe be a bearing overhaul kit or sumat for the whole gearbox?
Please help lol I love my car and don't want it to die and especially don't want it to kill me or the family lol
