WTK. Metallic grinding noise when accelerating

Hey tuners, when I am accelerating just beyond 5000rpm I hear a metallic grinding sound and after I shift gears it goes away. This noise only occurs if I am accelerating hard and it occurs in each gear from 1st - 5th. Any suggestions what could be the cause of this?

Hmm, I maybe wrong but it sounds like something in your gearbox. Did u check with your mechanic?

Oh, I see. I take it that they box wasn't entirely opened?
What about on idle? Is the noise present at all?
Did u ever replace any bearings or synchros tho?

No it wasn't, and no noise on idle also.
Never did any work on the bearings or synchros but all gear engage smoothly.

Ok, well, then I feel is something internal then, you might have to get it opened n checked.
Well since all the gears engage smoothly, then the synchros should be fine. the bearings might need changing tho.

U can PM Cleriq, he knows alot about this sorta thing
