Just trying to get some info before I strip my gearbox looking for why 3rd gear is making a chattering sound when engaged. All the other gears are silent and work perfectly, 3rd gear also works fine with no noticeable vibration through the gear stick but I have done a few thousand miles with it with this noise across Spain and Portugal but I'm looking to head abroad again at the end of the month so would like to try to rectify the problem before it does fail or gets worse. It sounds like a bearing rattling but I'm not sure if it is or a gear but I won't know until it's apart?
I have a spare gearbox that was rebuilt a few years ago but this has a cracked bellhousing/diff casing, I think my plan is to swap the gear clusters from my spare box to my current box which would save the cost of a rebuild.
How easy would this be to do, I'm hoping its just a case of unbolting the casings and swapping the gears over, is there anything I should watch out for as this will be the first time I have stripped the 996 gearbox down and I am trying to make it as painless as possible?
Is there any information to show what gear is what within the gearbox and would it be easier just to repair the gearbox I have, obviously this would need a press though to get individual gears and bearings off?
