Gearbox problem

[Mick_Kluger]

Hi everyone, this is my first day as a member in this forum.

Six months ago I bought a 2008 KX-S kluger. it was first registered in January 2009, and so far it has done 16000 kms only, few days ago i found out that bearing noise coming out of the gearbox. I took it to toyota and they have to check it out.The history of the Kluger has already been checked all clean.The bad thing is that warranty expired last months.

Has anyone had a bad experience like mine at allllllllllll.......!!!!

Hi,

What makes you say it's a bearing noise?

Like bisdake mentioned, is it a "whine" noise at certain speeds?

40-60 kph 60-80 kph?

Or is it all the time ?

If you could elaborate I'd be happy to help.

Hi guys, thank you for your input.

well it may not be bearing noise it is more lke whining noise i guess and it is at all speeds even if it is rolling downhill on neutral.but it gets louder if the gear is engaged.

Toyota have got it and they should start dismentelling the gearbox tomorrow to see what is wrong with it.

Hi mick

By any chance is it a blueish Kluger? Front wheel drive?

If it is then it looks like ive got the job.

I found out today what the whining noise is. Its the pinion, and guess what? I was told this is a common problem in Klugers and they had few Klugers lined up with the same problem.

Has any one had the same problem.
