my mjet is now on 56k and has developed a whining in 3rd and 4th gears. Goes away instantly when changing to any other gear and when placing clutch down.
Is this a sign i need the gearbox refurbing?

My gearbox was replaced under warranty in aug 2011, it's on it's way out gain , been to dealer an they say it's not bad enough to swap yet, needs to get worse lol. So 5 months on a recon!
Just read that these gearbox's upper torque limit is 320 N-m or 236 ft-lbs, no wonder they're not lasting, especially on remapped Mjets.
I doubt thats true as standard astra vxr makes that and the nurburg edition makes more than that.
Maybe, since read over on VXR that it's rated at 400nm & 295lbft. Although the http://www.fptpowertrain.com website mentions 320nm for the M32 box.
It does seem though from over there that it's tuned car's that are suffering most of the issues which is no surprise.
@ matty_oakley - should have had a milder Angel remap mate, perhaps your boxes would last longer! No wonder yours are failing with torque like that...lol
