Hi Folks,
Just back from a 600 mile round trip to Wells ME (really beautiful), and
have a new concern.
In 4th gear, normal cruising Rpms(3600-4000), there's a rattle sound
that comes from the shift knob. It goes away with some gentle pressure or
tapping, but then returns. Seems to change volume but not frequency with
speed changes.
I unscrewed the knob to tighten anything loose, but there wasn't
anything in there. Is this a sound transmitted through the gear linkage, all
the way from the tranny? Searched the archives, all questions no answers.
maybe meaningful clues:
-Recently switched to Redline MT-90, probably the first fluid swap in the
life of the tranny.
-approx. 170k on the engine and tranny
-Shifts easily (by my standards), stays in gear.
-new clutch slave cylinder (two months ago)
-Matt Sutton
88 GL 4-speed
