keep second gear in mind but also keep in mind
the clatter can resonate at different speeds so the speed associated with second may be a factor more than the fact it is in second. The gears themselves can be a factor even though they appear good. If you can pop the trans top, drain the trans lube, look for metal in the lube, you will almost always find some, look for bigger pieces, wash the whole thing down with diiesel and/or kerosene then some gasoline to get things real clean you can then get a good look at the gear teeth and mesh patterns, a cheap inspection magnifyer scope may work to get a better look. Layout die can be applied to the gear teeth to bring out the pattern. You can look at the bearings Hugh suggested and you may want to look into the outer bearing on the bull pinion drive axle also. Other bearings are more difficult to evaluate ie., the differential carrier bearings, the transmission drive and counter shaft bearings. The position of the second gear set on these transmission shafts may be a factor if one of the trans shaft bearings is defective. Happy hunting. This one may be elusive.
