guys..

brought my first car - mazda demio 1998, pre face lift.. 1.3 Manual

bought one month ago.. run so far 2000km..

happy with the car..

only issue was with the gear box..

when i change to the 5th gear it gives a humming sound. (Sound like a Super charger in my own world )

apparently previous owner try to reaper the gear box and and the it didn't end well.(I didn't come a cross the issue until i ran few 100km)

unfortunately now it's my problem ..

one guy advice me to replace the whole gear box.

I check with japan lanka and they don' t have. any idea about place to look or any advice?

This could be due to a worn out bearing on the 5th gear. Instead of replacing the entire gearbox, you might be able to take it apart and inspect the gearbox first (especially the 5th gear and the bearing). If the bearing is worn out, you can replace it and then everything should go back to normal. This would cost you a lot less.
