Gear Box Issues

[kotikeni]

HI ALL

I HAVE AN 1800 GS AVENSIS 1998 HATCH BACK. THE GEAR BOX STARTED OFF WITH A WHINNING SOUND ESP. ON THE 4TH AND 5TH GEARS. THE SOUND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE UNTIL I DID A QUICK TEST TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS CONING FROM. THIS WAS DONE BY JACKING ONE FRONT WHEEL UP WITH THE BONNET OPEN, STARTED ENGINE AND ENGAGED GEARS IN SEQUENCE. THE NOISE WAS CONCENTRATED ON THE GEAR BOX AREA WITH EITHER WHEEL LIFTED. i THERE ASSUMED THE BOX IS NACKARD. I HAVE CHECKED FOR QUOTES TO HAVE IT REPLACE AND THEY ARE NOT PLEASING. I AM HOWEVER TECHNICALLY INCLINED THOUGH NOT A MECHANIC AND WOULD WANT TO GIVE IT A GO ONLY ON CONDITION OF GETTING A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO REMOVAL AND FITTING A REPLACEMENT. COULD ANY ONE HELP ME ON THIS REGARD?

I guess buying one of these would do the trick :

I must say it is well worth the money (with the risk of sounding like a salesman) ;)
