Thank you Listers for all the suggestions about what might have caused the
clunk or pop I heard when upshifting in my '65 Sprite. As many of you
suggested, it was due to worn splines on the hubs. I smeared bearing grease
all over the hubs and inside of the wheels, and put the wheels back on the
hubs that they'd originally been mated with (something I did not do
following the remounting of the tires).
Result: no clunk!
Thanks again for all of your replies,
Jeff
