Good to know. I'll touch base with the dealer that took the car off my wife and if he intends to go that route - i'll pm you for more details. Car went to Vancouver Volkswagen with the air raid like transmission as is. That was right before long weekend so guessing they likely haven't decided on...

I am nearly 100% certain the issue was a bearing inside the gear box. My wife however decided to trade the vehicle in for an e-golf as she didnt want me to replace gearbox and then learn it was a stator bearing. I drained the fluid - it was shiny and glittery and the gears didnt "feel" right. My...

As in the boxes from different years are interchangeable? What do you mean I can swap them over? This probably makes more sense once I pull apart but right now I'm not picking up what you're laying down. I did have a chat with a dealership parts guy... for a new one - he wasn't seeing anything...

Hi Peter - yes I have similar thoughts also. I'm not ruling anything out at this point and since the trans is about the size of a sewing machine i'm not concerned about ripping it out and tossing it around either. Car has approx 105,000 kms so by all rights very early in life to experience the...

Thanks for the tips - I have a stethoscope but same same. I'll give it a run up first and see but my gut says I am pulling transmission as I suspect possibly shaft bearing or something went bad. Gearing my mind for the worst and hoping for the best. I did run through the online workshop manual...

My gut suspicion on this car without lifting yet is maybe a transmission bearing and or possible gear tooth fell off. Obviously very concerning so I have a bit of work ahead of me. Has anyone taken a gearbox out in their driveway and and recommendations from folks before I start ripping parts...

Also these videos as drive continued one you can hear clunking. Note in Canada so speed is kms

I have a 2014 imiev and have today seen a quietnoise become very loud. I removed the back engine cover and recorded short video to get the noise. It sounds ... not good at all. Noise almost goes all the way away when shifted into neutral suggesting gear box or engine related. Maybe bearing or...
