How common throughout the E series is Thrustrace rattle.
Anyone have the same experience. Last edited by Wicherts; 08-08-2005 at 11:05 PM. |

Thrustrace ?
When I changed my clutch I noticed that all the bolts on the extension housing were very loose, it caused a major rattle. |

thrustrace????? im thinking you mean thrust bearing? never heard that term for it though, but im not that knowledged, as far as ive heard e-series gearboxs have more problems with synchros then with thrust bearings. thrust bearings are only about 5bux but its a to take off the gearbox to change with out a hoist. so if your getting that changed then there going to charge at least a hundred bux just to take off the gearbox and put the new one in and refit the gearbox.

It happened to me Wicherts. A brand new thrust bearing will cost you anywhere from 40 to 90 bucks depending on where you get it from.
My uncle and I changed the one on my old manual EF cuz it was whining like buggery (and as dry as a nuns.. well, you get me.   . Wasnt difficult it was just time consuming. The gearbox has to come off, and then you have to take out the old bearing and put the new one in. I have pretty thin hands so I was able to reach in though the opening in the belhousing for the clutch cable and put on the new bearing myself. Unfortunately if you have big hands, you may find that the bellhousing needs to come off.Not a hard job but thats what your problem is, so there ya go ;) |

$78.80 from ford and bursons costs more like $85.00 or something
i put a new one in on the weekend, as my old 5-speed had a bad thrust bearing noise i thought it was safe to change this one before i put the new box in. |

Hi guys,
Is this anything like the rattling noise I get in 3rd gear when the car is under a load when its cold? It seems to dissapear when its hot but the noise sounds like its coming from the gearstick and and is similar to the sound of a nut been shaken in a glass jar quickly. Any ideas? Mark.

possibly... whatever it is, the oil thinning out when it warms up seems to be fixing it, right?

If that's the case, a fluid change would be a good start.
