Re: Gearbox(?) Clatter at higer RPMs

Well, now I feel dumb 🤦‍♂️. I did some poking around, and it turns out the bolts on the front cover weren't tightened all the way. Apparently the vibration frequency of the motor between about 5000-5800 from was just right to make the thing rattle aroibd and sound like a tin can full of rocks! Super...

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....
