Gearbox/Axle Noise
Hi Bob,
Its difficult to identify a noise just from reading a brief description but this is the first thing that springs to mind.
You may have broken a gearbox mounting allowing the gearbox to drop. When you select 2nd or 4th (the two gears that you pull the lever backwards) the gearlever could be rubbing against the floor panel.
thanx will certainly check ho
