bearing noise 2500rpm ish

[matt1295]

i have noticed since yesterday that i had a bearing droning noise at about 2500rpm

the noise is there in any gear and isn't there before or after its got to be on the engine as if i take the car to the right rev range when going down the road and dip the clutch it instantly disappears

Gearbox input or lay shaft shaft bearings? I had a slight bearing noise on my ZS180 at a similar rpm until I did the clutch, I used new oil in the box once it was all back together and the noise went away When was the box oil changed last?

the oil was changed maybe 1000 miles ago when i fitted a 2nd hand IRD and since then when i use the car and arrive home and get out i smell oil... always put it down to rear diff tho as that is weeping from the front seal but need to go to landy to order a new washer i was told

starting to think these might be related now instead

Did you use the correct oil in the box? It should be mtf94 but some listings list 10-40 engine oil which isn't correct. What oil can you smell? Gear oil or engine oil?
