Subject:noise from transmission

I have mentioned this before.  I had a noise that seemed intermittant.
Sounded like a CV.  When the engine was rebuilt (both trans and engine
removed), the mechanic checked for the noise and it appears to be coming
from the trans.  Further checking (driving tests) seems to indicate that it
only makes the noise when there is a load on the engine and trans (be it a
light or heavy load).  The clanking noise is present to a great extent when
going forward with a slight angle to the right.  The sound all but vanishes
when veering left.  There doesn't appear to be any weakness or operational
problems with the manual 4-speed on the 84GL.  Anyone have any ideas as to
what the problem might be?  I am trying to get a feel for what I might be
looking at before I take it in for more evaluation and possible repair.
