Forum:

hi pete got a rally 2 myself

hi pete got a rally 2 myself with a whine on 2nd gear had it for 3 and a half years bought it makin the same whine never got any worse but ive always been a bit cautious never had the time to investigate if there is a fault.there is an old listing on this site off someone with a similar problem but there was no follow on to it except that when the box was taken apart there was missing teeth on 2nd gears but when they were replaced there was still a whine.sorry this dont answer what you asked but you are not the only whiney rally 2 owner. Every other aspect of ownin the car is excellent.best car ive owned never let me down smile every time i drive it and still have people asking wat the bloody hell is that your drivin

i dont often brim the tank on

i dont often brim the tank on my car its used mainly as a runabout to get me to work im getting about 90miles to a tenner at current prices .if i ever take it on a longer run it easily does late 40s to the gallon thats with the camping gear and a weekends beer.i found out the other week that ive also got the standard 1.3 sirion air filter fitted too which im going to change whether or not that gives any improvement well see.had a bit of a gulp when read your post sayin how much your clutch change was as i may not be far away from that changes are gettin a bit clunky and it seems to slip a bit if i give it the beans from a standstill not that i do very often

rally 2 clutch

yes glynn i took it to the garage i always do and the book time to change a clutch on rally 2 is 5.5 hours and he only charges

Mine has whine too, sorry to

Mine has whine too, sorry to bump an old thread, Will try changing the gearbox oil. It's usually the bearings that are the cause from past cars I've had my yaris had whine low down, mine has it between 45-50 in 5th. My yaris never got any worse I doubt this will and I bet its done it since the last owner had it and that was 3 years. So not too worried. Will probably need the manual to change the oil though or figure it out. Was looking at trying Lucas gear box additive first? Anyone tried it?
