Jeremy Member 112 Member For: 18y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: Perth mindaz Posted 16/05/15 09:20 AM Posted 16/05/15 09:20 AM I've started noticing a bit of a whine coming from under the car in recent weeks, I thought it may have been the diff... but after reading a few posts on here, it seems the box can also make a whine when the clutch plates start to wear out?Also, I've noticed when giving the car some herbs in performance mode, it wont hold the gears and will upshift early and not ring out the gear.Maybe this is a fail safe because the box knows the clutch plates cant handle it anymore?The car's done 70,xxx kms and IS running 440rwkw, so I'm guessing its prob at that point where it's inevitably going to fail.. 1

Jeremy Member 112 Member For: 18y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: Perth mindaz Posted 17/05/15 02:01 AM Author Posted 17/05/15 02:01 AM nah, I wanted to tune it but my tuner said not worth it otherwise I'll be back the next day for a built box...I was just wondering if anyone here has similar issues before their box let go?I've heard of ZF boxes letting go with 350rwkw, and others running 450rwkw all day every day no issues... it must come down to the tuner (power delivery) and how much they restrict the torque to the box.

Mine flares 4th when cold. I have a oil to air cooler and when I was going to give it a boot full (6 degrees outside) it didn't want nothing to do with third. When its warm I can smash thhe gears all day long. No issues.
