wow what a helpful reply! i know second gear is one of the most used gears in the box and wears alot quicker usually.. not sure what it could be though, minis do usually make a bit of gearbox noise.

yeh. well it's been good. it's a 1989 John rover cooper & it flys!!

like i said it drives fine never had problems but maybe it is just a noisey 2nd gear.

It`s more than likely comming from the Idler gear,,, pretty common for this ,,, & maybe the noise is actually there in every gear but more pronounced in 2nd yeah???
