Don't suppose you have the part numbers for shim and cap so i can quote them to TPS, as got one just round the corner from me?
Also do TPS sell the general public?

Thanks for your time.

Will make my day if this works.

Recently I've noticed a slight whirring sound when letting off the accelerator and was wondering if it was gearbox related.
Would a 54 plate FR TDI have this type of gearbox....I've not had the car that long so I'm still familiarising myself with the details.
What sort of mileage are people requiring these shims? Mines just about hit 90k and has no shifting issues.

 

[Bigjohn84]

Not sure mate have alook and see if u have the cap on the side of the gearbox, I'm at 91.000 and fitted mine not that log ago, massive difference to gear changes, I'd fit it as soon as you hear about this part, you may not need the shim tho as a few people can't get it in so don't need it, have alook worth the work

 

[dholdi]

Mine started whining slightly around the 150k mark.
My parts arrived from David @ Sere today so fingers crossed it doesn't rain Sunday.

My day was made

This is so cool! You are awesome!

 

[Malice19]

All done and dusted
What an Genius fix, so simple but has made a massive difference, sounds so quiet in my car now when letting off the accelerator and no longer sounding like a battered old buses gearbox.

Wish i had done this earlier if i knew it would have been such a simple fix.

Thanks for your help

 

[Bigjohn84]

Glad you got it sorted

done this also last weekend, had a bad decell whine in 5th and a bit of clutch creep, for a tenner well worth it , box has no noise at all now, cleaner through the gears also.
well worth doing
took about 30 mins easy job

I fitted the shim yesterday to get rid of my 3rd gear noises. Worked a treat!!
Another happy customer!!

 

[Bigjohn84]

Glad it worked for you also
