I know that these old transmissions tend to make a lot of noise but this is something new. It's making a moaning noise when I decelerate. It stops if I push in the clutch. I have checked the fulid level and everything else seems to be working perfectly.
Is this the trans or maybe the U-joint. I'm not sure what a bad U-joint sounds like. What should I check? Is this going to damage the trans?
Thanks George
p.s. This trans has been rebuilt, new bearings and every thing. All the gears looked good when I put it back together. | | |

If it does it in high gear I would take a look at the rear end.

Hopefully it's not a bad bearing. I would hate to rebuild that thing again.
Any more ideas? | | |

How did the countershaft look? The shaft acts as the "inner race" and excessive clearance could do it. Did you replace all the pins?
