Does the shifter lever make noises in All gears or just 3rd or 4th????
Many times the shifter is just telescoping an internal iminent failure
such as the 3/4 slider hub cracking. Movement of the shifter will put
pressure on a fork and create some clearance causing the noise to go
away. Many that make that type of noise are actually grinding away at a
case or other component whilst making the noise. Fixing it sooner will
cause less headaches for the rebuilder.
