First of all having difficulty shifting into first and second. This is mostly when stationary but on the odd occasion it is slick. Seems to be fine when the car is moving but can do it when crawling. Clutch seems fine and all other gears are no problem. Tend to find I can back off the selection and try again which will usually work but sometimes requires a bit of force.

After fixing the whining diff I can hear another issue which I believe is also coming from the gearbox, or there-abouts. It's essentially an odd knocking/whining sound which I've captured from my phone. It is a stupid 3ggp file so you may need a phone to listen. You can hear it at the end of the file. The noise only happens in first and second and only on acceleration and happens worse from stand-still. I also believe it's worse when going up-hill but this could be my imagination.

Thoughts before I set fire to the car? :wallbash:
