Only a thought,
Assuming it's a 4-speed, when you can, drop the pan on the transmission and
inspect for sloppy movement of the countershaft cluster, and broken or
chipped gears as suggested. IMHO the front thrust washer on the countershaft
in 4-speeds have a poor design. I've had to replace them where they chewed
up the housing in two transmissions. I hope that's not your problem.
