Hi guys, I have had trouble free motoring in the Cinq for ages then ooops my speedo stopped working. Found it was the plastic drive at the bottom of the cable/gearbox gear. I have also had a grinding noise in first and second gear ever since I owned the car. Any way to the point. I decided that it was time to fit a new gearbox that I have purchased off here from a guy about 3 or 4 months ago.
I fitted it over the weekend and tonight finally finished it with the exception of filling up the completely empty box.
I put a litre in (2.4 litres needed in total) and decided to spin the near side front wheel and I noticed it was clunking very badly. i spun the off side wheel and it was perfect so I decided to start it up. Its currently on axle stands so there is no load on it. Oh dear it knocks really bad.
Does anyone have any ideas what they think this can be? Im thinking it is something to do with the nearside inboard drive shaft. Is it even possible to put that back wrong? i did not remove the outboard side as you dont need to remove it for a gearbox change as you know.
Any suggestions would be appreciated on what you think it may be.
