Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with a problem I currently experiencing. I drive a 307 1.6 Rapier and recently have noticed a whining noise, the noise only happens when in gear, out of gear the engine sounds fine. When accelerating and decelerating the noise seems to relate to the changing of the gears and the speed I'm travelling. Don't think it's the wheel bearings as when I take it out of gear the noise goes away. When travelling at high speed in 5th it's lke a high pitched whine.

I've been told it could be gearbox bearings? Gearbox oil? clutch bearings? wheels? drive shaft?

Can anyone help????

Many thanks
Paul

sorry to say but it sounds like the gearbox is worn ie worn syncromesh atleast thats what my mate says.

sounds like a clutch release bearing some times called a thrus race bearing. Also have you checked the Transmission oil?

i have same prob same model car aswell common fault from what i hear but peugeot wont reconise it as one, full strip down needed or new box no other way to cure it

same problem with my 306

my 306 1998 seems to have this problem , if it is clutch bearings is this a big job and will the car seaze or will i need a new clutch

Dont worry

my 207 has exactly the same noise its not the thrust bearing...I just had a full new clutch and had new gearbox oil at the same time and it still sounds the same. That's just the way these crappy pugs are made its just the gearing whining inside ur gearbox and i think its standard across the smaller pugs.

i have the whine only in 3rd gear letting the engine slow the car, bearings in the box or worn synchromesh, either way just let it die and get another box to put in £60 to £80 from scrappy. Vs. £200+ rebuild costs

If you have MA gearbox then input shaft bearing is a common failure point.

If it was a clutch bearing the noise woud ary when the pedal was pushed down.
It won't be worn synchromesh, that would show as crunchy gear changing.
But a worn bearing in the gearbox will allow the gears to run out of true, manifesting the fault mostly as a whining noise.
What is worn and how much it will cost to fix will depend on what gearbox you have, and how much replacement parts cost.
