Hi guys,

Ok so driving along everything is fine but when coming to a stand still with Drive still engaged i;m getting odd noises from the gear box. Slightly griding noises with a tiny bit of burbling. Engage neutral or reverse and the noise goes.

Any suggesting. Note that gear box oil appears ok and topped up.

Thanks

Tim

I am not sure where you are but there is a place in London called http://www.stephensengineering.co.uk who supposed to be very good for transmissions. I had looked at them to do the gearbox in my 3 litre V6 Nissan QX.

They consistently came up again and again in forums etc when I was trying to find somewhere to do it (not very common at all are the QX's!)

Anyways, may be worth a call.

Good luck
