I'm getting a lot of gear nashing noise when I accelerate and decelerate. I
seems to quiet out when the car reaches a comfortable rate of speed for the
chosen gear. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm in overdrive or not.
I just got this vehicle together after thirty years of sitting in a barn. I
didn't do to much to the tranny other than cleaning it out and replacing a few
broken parts. During the cleanup, inspecting the gears themselves I observed
no broken teeth and moderate wear. The tranny was pretty bound up and required
a lot of cleaning and lubricating to get it to turn freely.
I plan to rebuild the tranny over the winter, but does anybody have any ideas
on what I should replace or look for that might account for this type of noise
that happens only when the tranny is being pushed hard.
Sincerely
Rick Neves
