No chattering, now whining, just sounds tight and smooth. I think its much better than getting a used box as they are hard to come by. I bought all the parts myself and paid a mechanic with special tools to change the bearings. Fortunely, I didn't have to change the copper gear. Managed to sort out everthing below a thousand. PM me if anyone's looking to to do the same. Will forward you to the right people for the job. It takes only two days.But a word of caution!!!! due to the bearings being hidden without the possiblity of us checking what's changed, the mech might not change whatever you've given him. That's what happened to me.... sad but true... when I collected the gearbox, I noticed the old and damaged bearings thrown into a box nearby but somehow the nos. weren't correct. It was missing one freaking roller bearing that only cost RM35.00, so I called the boss saying that I wanted all the old bearings that was changed as proof to the old mech (who initially installed my clutch) for the damaged he's done. He rushed back looking a bit shock, acting lost and keep saying that the particular bearing was not spoilt. I told him that I've bought it anyway and should have been installed nevertheless. He then went into his office, dug through his drawers and took the brand new bearing out. Now I'm stuck with one new roller bearing. Its was only 35 bucks and I didn't want to embarress the guy further.</blockquote>
