Need Getrag manual gearbox recon on a 2004 3.0
Hi all,
I own a 3.0 manual here in the UK (South Wales) I need a new gearbox apparently 😣 does anyone know where I can get a replacement or refurbished one etc?
Really don't want to get another car as I love it.
Regards,

Whirring noise in 1-4th under acceleration, mainly coming from under the centre of the car, then at 55-70+ drone from where I imagine the prop shaft(s)/diff is. Still changes gear fine etc but garage says I need to replace it. My thoughts initially were it's the socket joint on the propshaft that you ffeel right the way through to the gear lever. Garage said no it's the gearbox.

Find another garage or Jaguar specialist for a second opinion prior to replacing the gearbox. The rear differentials have a tendency to exhibit bearing wear causing a similar noise.

Surely if there's wear to the layshaft bearings, which would make a noise in first through fourth gear, the bearings can be replaced. Is there any noise at idle with the clutch pedal released that goes away when the pedal is depressed? If so the input shaft bearing is worn.

Thank you, Graham 🙂

I must apologise, I reread your post and missed that you have a manual gearbox. What was the condition of the fluid? Are there any metal shards visible?

Going to have a go now and listen at idle clutch depressed etc, thank you so much.

An update
So I've just changed the oil for a 75w90 about 1.6ltr.
The oil was very dark and did contain a small amount of what I can describe as copper particles or a light metal. They were microscopic and not noticible untill a shimmer would revealed them.
I added a tube of moly slip.
Changes are smoother although not a whole lot of difference. Whirring under acceleration noise is quieter. But is still there. Doesn't make any noise in neutral with clutch depressed. Humming coming from rear is still there I'm 90% sure is a wheel bearing or uneven tyre. So that brings us back to the whirring noise under the gear lever. It's still not there in 5th. But present in 1-4. Gear changes are fine and it never slips a gear or feels clunky.. I am starting to think if I replace the gearbox it may still be there because apart from the whirring noise it's seems fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

If the whirring noise disappears when the clutch pedal is depressed, that usually indicates a worn input shaft bearing.
If the whirring noise is present in gears one through four, but not in fifth, that usually indicates worn layshaft bearings as fifth is direct drive through the gearbox.

Yes, that is correct. Fifth is directly locked to the input shaft. The bright flecks of metal are usually from the brass blocker rings. Steel particles are from the gear faces.
Some gearboxes, even in racing cars, can make odd sounds, but if they're shifting smoothly and there is no overabundance of metal in the oil, you can probably continue driving it for several thousand miles more.
