Creaky gear box
« on: September 10, 2012, 01:39:21 am »
Hello,

So after the first six months of Ed30 ownership, I love it. Very happy I made the change from diesel and just renewed my insurance at less than £400! However, I am noticing on occasion that there is a creaking sound when I change gear. Not all the time but it is noticeable and sounds like an old joint that needs some greasing. I'm sure it's not that simple though...I'm just wondering if anyone else has had anything similar? The car is 5 years old. The other day, reverse gear gave a slight whine too. It was under stress reversing up a steep hill and was the first and only time I've heard such a noise. Should I be worried?

Thanks.
