AMTo:'healeylist'Subject: [Healeys] Mystery noise AH people - fighting a noise 
in my BJ8 that may or may not be 
serious.Reluctant to tear out the tranny unnecessarily and then to find it was 
something simple !
 Notice it at low speed (probably exists at driving speed but too much wind 
and engine 
noise) if shift to neutral and cut ignition to minimize engine 
and exhaust noise.Noise is pulsating - like a tire with a bad spot but seems to 
be at 

prop shaft speed. At first thought that it was at wheel speed and from R 
side.So changed out the R wheel bearing.No improvement Then while looking below 
noted that universals had some play.So changed out both universals.Rear brakes 
not dragging and no binding of wheels.No improvement. Did listening on hoist 
with others listening too. Consensus was that there 
was a noise at rear OD area as well as the pulsating one. So pulled annulus in 
situ and replaced both rear bearings. Quieter but 
still the pulsating noise while coasting in N. Sound file enclosed is a road 
test from about 15 MPH then shift to N and 
cut engine. Tunnel cover off.
 Able to replicate noise with engine on axle stands but not by turning a 
rear wheel by hand or with an e motor.
 Noise does appear to come from transmission.
 To verify is not diff removed one of the rear seats and noise doesn't 
appear to be coming from diff area.
Disconnecting prop shaft to isolate diff not possible as need the inertia 
of the rear wheels to produce the pulsing. About 5k miles ago I changed out the 
larger OD front bearing (sourced from 

Moss ... ?) in the OD.OD works fine and transmission shifts and works OK 
without unusual 

noises. The pulsating/cyclical nature of the noise baffles me and not 
consistent 

with a bearing failure ? Given that it occurs in neutral with no gears meshing 
it surely is not a 
bad gear tooth etc.
OD not engaged so it is locked so not likely there.
Removed gearbox top cover and did inspection - nothing obvious.
So to my mind this only leaves the GB rear bearing ?Or maybe a broken circlip 
or thrust washer and probably on main shaft 
external to gearbox ?
or half shaft ?
 Any comments/thoughts appreciated from the more experienced 
among us. 
Tkxrg
