From what I under stand yes it was the earlier ones which suffer more from gearbox probs but the later models do suffer at times aswell :roll:

Hmmm..my Mav does the same too....nice rattle in nutral with foot off the clutch pedal but as soon as I depress the clutch the noise goes. No problems whatsoever selecting any gear...no stiffness, no notchiness.. nowt.. :?

It is adviseable to ensure all your transmission fluids are replaced at the correct intervals or before. (Gearbox, Transfer & Rear Diff)

Those all sound like the input shaft bearings are on their way out.

Thrust/clutch release bearing make a noise when the clutch IS depressed (like mine does).

I find that mine makes a noise when clutch depressed which i decide was the thrust bearing, been doing it a long time so I tend to forget about it :smile: ...bri
