Knocking in my transmission


Jabronie

Recommended Posts

Light turned green and got off the clutch very light and the car kinda choked but didn't stall. So I ran to 3k rpms and shifted to 2nd. Just driving easy. When I went to 2nd is when I noticed my trans or shifter (gear box?) Started to knock.

Any ideas?

Its a 77 280 4speed

Does it make any other noises.
It still could be a broken transmission mount or front engine mount. The knocking you are hearing could be exhaust pipe banging against transmission cross member.
No I don't hear any other noise. But The gear shifter does vibrate. Ok I'll find a way to check for a broken mount

If it quits knocking when pushing the clutch, then its a clutch issue or the front half of the transmission cluster.
I dont remember the whole thread but I would suspect a main bearing issue

Ok I bought this clutch so hopefully this will help. And I'll Google where to buy a main bearing

If you need a main bearing,  its due for a complete rebuild. Try to pinpoint the issue before throwing parts at it
