wired new noise
When its cold - first start - if I am climbing a hill in 3rd or 4th I get a ticking / knocking - similar to a big end knock - coming from bell housing area. It does not happen in 1st or 2nd and goes after about 10 mins. Revving the engine = no noise. The engine has just been rebuild with new shells, re-ground etc... and because it only happens in 3rd and 4th I am suspecting the transmission.
Any ideas?
Perhaps I should add that once the whole lot is really warmed through - the sound turns to more of a rumble but ís not permanently there.
It all runs smooth and, apart from the cold ticking and hot rumbling, all is quite and vibration free.
Its a 2.25 Petrol - IIa
