Fly Wheel

[lexus22]

Jesus, 37k!......Sounds like its been through the wars mate. I bought mine at 74k and it still goes like new! I'd say you've been unlucky fella :-(

Yeah, reckon so! I know a bit about cars (or so I thought) and the car was in superb condition. I took it for a test drive but clearly missed the gearbox whine and clutch judder. I also own a 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo that I bought about 20 years ago but spends most of its life under a dust sheet in the corner of my garage, bought the Lexus to use every day for business as I thought they never gave trouble! Hindsight eh..

Picked up car from garage last night after having flywheel and gearbox changed. The original flywheel was totaly fecked. With the resurfaced flywheel fitted there is no more judder and gearchanges at speed are nice and smooth now..what a difference! As mentioned I also had another gearbox fitted because there appeared to be a slight whine in 1st and 2nd gears but it is exactly the same with this one! So at least I now know that this must be down to the way that the gears are cut and it is not a problem, just the way these cars are. So if anyone needs a genuine 45k gearbox let me know..
