Gearbox(?) Clatter at higer RPMs
Hi there folks, I've got an 83' R65ls that I recently picked up for pretty cheap. Heres the issue though, it's got quite a loud clattering noise that I've noticed, seems to come on somewhere between 5000-5500 rpm, below that, it seems perfectly fine... Sounds to me like it's coming from the gearbox....
