Hi Frank,
If it doesn't break in a day or so!, I would be suspicious of the spider
gears and the dished thrust washers behind them. I have a 3.9 that
doesn't go clunk in the night, (or day either,) but makes noises at 55-60
as in whine. Other speeds OK, go figure, You want it? It's out of the
car now on the floor of the shop, waiting for a new home. Make me an
offer, I won't be insulted. Make an offer before I put it on ebay as all
original noises!
