GETRAG I have the exact same problem,, IT IS THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING !!!!!!!!the gear box places WILL tell u that it will need a rebuild...( load of **** )....Then they will tell u the box has to be split to replace it ( load of ****) it is only the bmw's that have to be split..... I have the part number for the nsk bearing if u need it ....A good gearbox repairer will have the puller to withdraw the old one....none here in brisbane ....my brother in law ( fitter & turner ) is doing the job for me...

99 vt s pac 3.8 manual
Hi guys, was gonna open new thread but realised this is similar. Ok so went to look at a 99 vt s pac 5sp manual sequential injection and while the car seems to be in top shape, 176000ks, not lowered no obvious signs of towing interior and exterior spotless no obvious signs of oil leaks nothing. Sounds too good right, but when I took it for a test drive there seemed to be a quiet whining noise coming from the front. Almost like a superchaged engine or a toy remote controlled car, is this normal or should I RUN and let this car go. He said its normal on the vt to vy models, and has given me a 1 year warranty covering diff, gear box engine, most major parts. Any feedback will be appreciated
