Subject: spit 1500 trans help
Hello
I'm in the process of a now 5 year restoration of my 76 spitfie 1500.
It was almost ready to go this spring when I noticed that if the car was
in 1st gear and I held the clutch in and pushed the car, a growling
noise comes out of the transmission. I rebuilt the transmission with
all new parts except gears and syncros. 1st gear is the only one that
makes this noise. I've been told that it might be a needle bearing
problem, but I beliebe it would then make the noine in all the gears.
Any help or suggestionswould be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Fred
