If I select Neutral it seems to me like it sounds and feels like a shaft with something around it just slightly touching it and making an annoying quite sound and vibration, very slightly noticed but nonetheless annoying.I don't have any slippage between gears. I have serviced the car every 10,000km's or less with Ford and had the diff oil replaced @ 30,000 and only use Fully Synthetic Oil.Car pulls hard in First and when I stall it up a little the noise and vibration goes away.I have this sinking feeling my box is fried!!!!!!!!Any thoughts?I specifically didn't do any mods to this car so I could smash it a bit and not "break" things.If it is the box, ill be changing cars.... Ford Forums was the main reason for getting this type of car and box....Thanks in advance if anyone can help...

Ill post back the answer when I get a chance, flying all around the place atm so won't be able to update for a few weeks.How would I, not a mechanic, but pretty handy on the tools check these two items?Thanks
