[Spridgets] Clanging, banging, rattling in the transmission tunnel

[Robert Weeks]

Hi Chuck,

I'd say it sounds like some nuts and bolts rattling around in a coffee 
can. No gnashing or crashing of gears and the sound seems the same 
whether in gear or out of gear. The car seemed to drive o.k. but I 
figured I'd be asking for trouble if I continued to drive it with that 
sound.

Thanks,

Robert
