I have a 1939 3/4 ton pick up. It has a 3 speed transmission. My truck makes a metal to metal noise in first and second gear, once I get it in 3rd, the noise stops. Is the problem in the transmission, clutch or could it be something else? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Charlie

First thing I would do is drain the transmission gear oil and look to see if it has metal in the oil.SOunds like you may have bearings out.The oil will tell a lot.
. Let us know what you find out.

in 1st and 2nd gear the torque is transmitted thru the countershaft.

in 3rd gear the power is one to one straight thru the mainshaft with no torque on the counter shaft.

i thinkzzz de countershaft and/or bearings/thrust washers is your problem
