I posted some time back about the noise in this transmission, 8 speed-[4 + lo hi] in operation, pulling etc, can't detect anything-mainly @ idle & relesing the clutch rapidly-it will chatter & go away-best way to hear it is with 2-speed in neutral, try differant gears & play with throttle a little & thing knocks--after my first question, i pulled shift cover-found missing ball on 2-speed detent, thought this gearset maybe floating around hitting a gear, but no. i see no broken teeth, slack in bearings,etc. [maybe some on mainshaft gearset, seen worse]yes it reminds me of a deal i got into a while back of gears picking up engine pulses as i can make it go away with very slight rpm change, may not come back til stop/restart--2 ??-could clutch damper springs cause this? should i pull lift cover[or just split] to check out? i have manual,just at anouther location-get tommorow-i know this box to be a little noisy [ i have a 3000] but this is a little much. it was actually brought to me for a throw-out bearing, but not that. thanks for help-excuse sp.--gotta replace a lamp bulb]--
