STEEL IDLER TRANSFER GEAR V6

[plasticpig72]

I know a weak spot with the V6 is the fibre idler/transfer gear.
On my car a steel replacement has been fitted and this seems to be the standard accepted mod.
Having said that, garages were told before fitting a steel gear to make customers aware that the mod will be a little noisy.
Does this mean that you can hear a noise when the Engine is just ticking over or only when the Clutch is depressed
Anyone experienced this

It looks like my engine has done about 2,000 miles since rebuild and fitting of gear.
I must just go out there and drive it to get more miles on the counter and see if it quitens down

i think the different sizes is to control the backlash which according to Burton should be .004" to .012"
Frank does that mean your 3000S originaly had a fibre wheel
