I have a 1998 2.0 litre JLX with 275,000k. It has a noisy bearing at the front of the gearbox. I am debating the cost ($2000K all up) of a getting the gearbox stripped and all the bearings replaced ! Am I better off tracking down a decent 2nd hand box ! Any advice appreciated.

It maybe the thrust bearing in the clutch. If not 2nd hand box maybe the way to go.

In manual g boxes its the front input shaft bearingthat takesthe most load &wears out first .Some boxes it can be replaced without dismantling,If it has afrontbearing housing cover, can just unbolt itpull input shaft out & get bearing offotherscan splitin middle . Look in wk shop manual .

i simply replaced mine with a second hand g/box.although i think i was quite lucky to find one $800 plus clutch kit($180) one afternoon out in the garage elect70 says look in workshop manual but unfortunately you cant buy a workshop manual for a 2 litre v6 unless you wanna pay $800 for a second hand book,(thats what that local suzuki dealer offered me for his obsolete manual)

Have you phoned "The gearbox shop" for a quote as they are reasonable. Alternatively simply get the box dismantled / get the bearing numbers / go to Auckland bearings and procure replacements at a fraction of the dealer price / get the installed. Completely overhauled. If you pull the box out will save $$ in labour.
