Righto. A lot of you guys run straight cut drops. Most say they sound great but are noisy. Also a techical advantage over helical. I have never been in a mini with straight cut drops (i have heard plenty go past) and soon may need to fit them to my mini. I am worried about the noise - If the car gives me a headache I will not want to drive it every day to work etc?

the sc drops guard against side loading which tends to kill off hellacles, if you go for a 24 tooth setup rather than the 23 its slightly quieter, and i have also heard that the timkin idlers help reduce noise slightly.

The shimming will make no difference to the noise, it is the backlash between the crude gear tooth profile that makes the noise.

Someone on here mentioned not fitting a gearbox/block gasket and just using sealant and they said that quietened them down a bit. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Just watched the you tube vids. The straight cut noise was at the level I expected it to be - ie. louder than the exhaust. |

I must say that since changing to the 2.95 diff the SC noise has dropped to a tolerable level.. Before that I was wondering if they were worth it.. But now they are staying.

i have only the straight cut final drive fitted at the moment and it is not as loud as the straight cut transfer gears on their own, but together the can become ear numbing on a long drive. obviously a straght cut gearset woul add to this again On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

my old car was my daily drive with sc drops and box and that was fine noise wise. just turn the stereo up a bit, or fit a full width dash and some soundproofing behind it. On 20th Oct, 2015 Tom Fenton said:

Just watched the metro. I could cope with that level of noise no probs. What sort of soundroofing do you have. It seems very efective. I have dynamat in my mini - not impressed. |
