Andy_Mac Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Got a whine somewhere, not sure if its a common 6mt thing, not even sure if its the gearbox but that seems the most likely. I've been trying to track down and had no luck so far. Not sure if its something to worry about or not. Its louder in lower gears mainly 1st and second Isn't loud enough to notice once the revs get up Does it when i put the clutch in Stops when i put it in neutral Have read 1st and 2nd are straight cut gears so should have a whine to them. Any truth to this statement? Seems to pop up a bit but never see it actually referenced against any subaru document or stated by someone who works on these transmissions day in day out, always seems to be forum chatter which does come to incorrect conclusions from time to time. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The 6mt in my 09 Spec B is quiet. Yours should be too. 5mt's are noisy. I'm trying to work this through, "dose it when you push in the clutch" = throw out bearing. "stops when in neutral" = a shaft bearing ? is the clutch pushed in or is your foot off the pedal for it to stop in neutral ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Andy_Mac Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 so driving at say 2500rpm and push the clutch pedal right down it will do it but in the same situation if i go into neutral it stops whether the clutch pedal is pushed down or not. Had considered TOB in the past but was never sure. Pretty sure its still got the original clutch too so thats probably nearing the end of its life too. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 When you have your foot on the clutch pedal pushing it in that's when the TOB is being used. When you put the tranny in neutral and take your foot off the clutch pedal, the TOB is not being used and should not be spinning. The input shaft on the tranny is spinning on the pilot bearing and the input bearing in the tranny case. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Andy_Mac Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 So when you push the clutch pedal in thats when its being used and thats when the bearings will whine if they're worn but what would cause the whine when in gear with clutch pedal out aswell. Could the TOB be not completely disengaging whilst the clutch is fully engaged since it doesn't seem to slip at all? Is that something thats possible or not? 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectSega Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Sounds like an issue i've had in my06. Turned out to be a bad rear housing/transfer case bearing (1 dealership called it a rear housing bear and the other called it a transfer case bearing...).

Max Capacity Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Did you ever get this fixed ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Andy_Mac Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Na. Been reading up on transfer case bearings and how hard it is to do them. Still not completely confident on that though. Unless its more of a load thing i would have thought it'd whine regardless of what the clutch/tranny is doing. Haven't found any good exploded diagrams of 6mt's only 5mt's. Assuming they are the same style for low gears, could it be something to do with how first and second are directly attached to the input shaft where the other gears are directly attached to the output? Might just give it another tranny fluid change. Maybe add some shockproof with it and see if that changes anything. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigBADbenny Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Here you go, Andy http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/en_b13/type_36/manual_transmission/ Maybe Syntrax or Penrite? Not sure about redline in 6mts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetlegal Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Mine kinda whines now too in second after installing my GroupN trans mount, kartboy shifter bushings, and kartboy trans crossmemeber bushings. Figured it was just a combination of all of those increasing the NVH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
