New Trans, still working out the bugs.

[General Mcgregor]

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that the New trans has been doing great! (refer to thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/60303-yet-another-transmission-replacement-thread.html) Just a couple of quick questions:
1. The trans grinds a little bit going into 4th both upshifting and downshifting, but only sometimes. It's not like a harsh grind, more like something is still spinning a little too fast. I just want to make sure it's not a mis-adjusted clutch or anything. Should I be worried?
2. When in first the normal 'whine' is a little higher and louder, like it is taking more effort then needed to move the truck. Only in first, not as much in reverse. I might just be paranoid but is there a reason for that?

I just want to make sure I did everything right, thanks in advance 4 the help!

Grinding 4th is a common problem in these transmissions as they wear..... My old transmission didn't do this, the 'new' one does. Just be more patient when shifting 3rd-4th. The synchros are probably a bit worn, you can prolong the life of the trans by matching the speed closer.

I wouldn't worry about the noise in 1st.... there's nothing you can do other than make sure the oil is filled correctly. When I first swapped out transmissions I was conscious of all the different noises the new one made that the old one didn't, but after a while I got used to them and consider it all "normal."

B.T.W. - You should have just continued this conversation in your other thread, rather than start a new one about the same project / problem. A moderator will probably merge them together....
