Hey guys
So as per title. Jimny 2007 JLX
I think the gearbox bearings need replacing / whole new gearbox; but also unsure if there is an additional issue.
There was a rattle in 2nd gear - 4th gear, suggesting bearings. This would stop if in neutral (coasting), 5th, or reverse.
Gear box oil is fine (checked by mechanic). O-ring on front prop shaft replaced as per: www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Gea...put_end_oil_leak_fix
In addition to the bearing rattling there is now there is a much louder, deeper, 'rattle' (more like playing card in spokes of bike type sound) when moving at all whether neutral (coasting) right through from 1st-5th reverse. The car slows down considerably while in gear as if there is a resistance.
No noticeable smells.
Looks like oil leak around engine too? I'm not paticularly clued up on the mechanical side of things!
Added are some photos and videos.
Any advice and suggestions welcome!
Thanks
