If the noise is only in fourth gear and it happened with two different
trannies, and there was a clutch release issue I'd look closely at the
alignment of the input shaft and the tranny case mount surface to the back of
the engine. A misalignment there causes clutch problems and could put undue
pressure on the input shaft. Does he have the tranny case locating dowels in
place?

Subject: [Fot] Transmission noise
While we are in the trouble shooting mode... I am helping a buddy with his
TR6. Been fighting a clutch release issue. I THINK we might have resolved
that, what a long strange trip that ended up being. While driving it with
the
trans cover off I discovered that his transmission howls like mad in fourth
gear. Ok, I figure it is tired and needs a going over. I have the
transmission from my TR6 sitting there so I swap it out thinking he can just
use mine until he can get his rebuilt since mine is going to sit for a while
yet. Put mine in and sure enough now mine howls in fourth gear. What the
heck? Mine was quite as could be before I stopped driving the car. Is there
something external to the transmission that would cause noise in just fourth
gear?
Marty
