Hi all R53 experts!

Got an 05 R53 with 6 Speed Getrag (factory LSD)
It’s developed a gearbox clicking sound kind like muffled hockey card in a bike spoke sound... I suspect it’s a output bearing or perhaps worn gears

Anyone had similar experience and found issue
Im ok to pull out trans and inspect but looking for possible other areas to look

Its definitely not wheel bearing, CV axle or brakes.. all have been eliminating as source of sound ( and are all new)

Thanks in advance everyone

 

While idling in neutral? Clutch engaged or disengaged? Warm or cold? We need more info.

 

Sound is there wether hot or cold, neutral or gear
Clutch in or out.. I can replicate sound with car lifted and turn either wheel by hand
