's up all?
My Fleetline's shifting is starting to give me minor hassles.
The gearbox was totally done over about 2 years ago by a family friend who runs the biggest gearbox place in the country, and yes, he does have more than a clue about what he's doing - so we're ruling the 'box out.
Shifting is still fairly smooth, but over the last few months it's developed a bit of a 'clunk' when it slots into place.
No grating, no rough spots, no synchro problems, etc.
It shifts smooth, and sits in gear just fine, but there is a bit of a noisey clunk when seating it, more so on 4th it seems.
Imagine shifting gears over a bump...just that it happens more of the time, unless I nurse it into gear.
I would guess it's one of three issues...
1. Coupler
2. Bushing
3. Tranny mounts
How do I go about checking each of these, and is there more likly to be a problem with one over the other?
Thanks, N.
