Darrell, both of these sound to me like worn bearings, I'd go for a gearbox
rebuild. Don't forget the seals on the shifter shafts, they are frequently
overlooked. Also replace the clutch friction plate, throwout bearing and
taper pin. I would seriously consider drilling the clutch shaft and fork
for a cross-bolt to avoid the dreaded broken taper pin.

Sorry, no help here. I didn't even know the stuff wasn't available anymore.
