Mga ka-Triton 4x2 MT gearboxes, need your inputs please..
Rig: 2013 MS GLX 4x2 MT; EGR blanked, self maintenance since 15k PMS.. now at 23k ODO; Orig fuel filter still on, no CEL since day zero.
For the past couple of months, my gearbox "clacking" noise gets more obvious specially during idling @750rpm (AC off).. When I step (depress) on the clutch, and the flywheel disengages, I hear a normal/suwabe 4D56 natural engine noise.. Upon letting go of the clutch pedal, both abrupt and slow disengage, brings back the gentle/faint but annoying clack clack noise.. (My non-car enthusiast aunt even joked that my car now sounds even like an Isuzu Crosswind.. -no pun intended-
Background: Before even this symptom started, after my last long drive from Isabela to Manila, depressing the clutch pedal even produced squeeking sound. I was able to nail this down by putting hi-temp grease on the end of the Release Fork inside the gearbox, by opening the rubber boot and inserting my fingers on the release fork bearing and applied the grease... HOWEVER, the clacking noise remained while flyweel is engaged..
A. Could it be a thin MT oil?
B. Could it be a release/throwout bearing issue?
C. Also note that varying Diesel fuel brands (Shell VPN+, Unioil, Seaoil, Petron TD), does not elliminate the noise.
Any idea how much would this cost? -- Take down gearbox and check/replace release bearing?
Also, will Casa honor the warranty if I already skipped 2 PMS's ,, coz self-maintenance na kasi ako, when it comes to regular oil change, EGR cleaning, and other minor works..
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
