Has anyone else had issues with main shaft bearings/plates in these gearboxes? My wife's cross polo just started making these rattling noises from the gearbox over this past weekend and turns out its this bearing.
My thing is there's only 92k kms on the clock. Are these gearboxes known to be problematic at such low mileage?
According to both places I've taken to car to be checked, this is a common issue on the 6R, yet i dont find much online.
And its not cheap to fix either
