Bob,
That's an easy one: the countershaft gear has lost or chipped a tooth. I
would describe the sound as more pronounced that a clicking noise but
whatever... Don't know if new ones are available but plenty of good used
gearboxes around for around $100. Seems as though no one wants a non
synchro gearbox. Might as well be driving cars with automatics as have
first gear synchronized.
Is anyone reading this??
There are several available on the TRF website; "cars for sale", "parts for
sale". There are several in my basement.
