Yep, 4th gear.

- The gearbox is very smooth standing still from 1st through to 5th.
- It happens on the cold start or while driving for quite a while WHEN under
load. Whether I am doing 30, 80, 100.. it still happens.
- It happens if I'm changing up or down
- I can feel the crunch in my hand when changing the gear. It feels like
teeth scratching against each other

Recent changes

- Just serviced. 2 days ago, noticed it straight away.
- Using fully synthetic penrite oil. Quite thick


Car is a 97 STI RA.

Ideas?

- Synchros?
- Change to a thicker or thiner oil and see what happens?

Any help greatly appreciated. Very disappointed.

edit : the problem just got the bigger


my car is fucked!

i had to end up getting towed home...


massive, massive rattle .

checked the engine bay... after leaving bennys[candy red rex]
the knocking is coming from right in the middle of the engine bay, will need to get it towed to a mechanic tomorrow morning.

I thought it was the drivetrain;

- whether the gear is engaged or in idle now there is a knocking
- it is a very loud rattle that sounds like a pile of screws being thrown around a bucket.
- now it gets louder the quicker i go...

wow... i have 4 litres of the redline sitting in my back seat.. all lonely and won't be used until this is resolved
