Thank you for responding. Just a little history, I bought this car with this problem, test drove it and saw how sloppy the linkages were and also could hear a slight gear or bearing noise. When I got the car I adjusted the rods and saw little improvement so I decided to rebuild the shifter. That made a big difference, but I was still not able to reach second and still heard the noise.
Yes, the trans is still in the car. I never really tested second gear like you said. Because I was afraid to drive it with that noise. The oil looked super clean when I drained it. I have reason to believe it's got GL-5 in it, because that's pretty much all I saw on the shelves at 4 stores this weekend (special order??), so I'm thinking the person before me who filled it just grabbed that. I will try a magnet tonight..
I sincerely appreciate your help. Thank you!
I would do the fluid test as cheaply as possible , fill it with ATF , and confirm the clutch is adjusted correctly and go for a drive , but if it's making a noise I would think you should just pull it and rebuild it, just get it over with considering the fluid is drained already.
