Gearbox for Peugeot 306 - Zimran
The problem is a clunky vibrating type noise from the engine. Initially it was only happening when the clutch pedal was released, but now it happens at both times. It only happens when the accelerator pedal is not pressed (ie the car is coasting) and does not get louder/quieter when the speed increases/decreases

Some further info that might help one of you to \'diagnose\' my other problem (the vibration). The gearshift starting vibrating whilst in gear and making a right racket whilst on my way to work this morning. It only did it when the accelerator was not pressed and whilst travelling at higher than 40/50 mph.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas, considering someone else had the same problem a few months ago.

Thanks

Check all your engine/gearbox mountings.

OK after mounts the next thing to check for is seized gearchange rod balljoints. After that you might consider an inner driveshaft joint failing and "locking up".

Not just a bad misfire on the engine??

Hi, the noise is a scraping noise only happens when car is de-celerating, when accelerator is released and when brake is pressed. Does not happen when accelerating or when car is stationary.
