i pulled the trans over the weekend and pulled the side cover off tonight. nothing seems out of place. How do I know what to look for? I rebuilt this several years ago and looks the same as before.I'm a little lost at this point

Check cluster for end play. Move it back and forth. Use your judgement for clearance, as I don't know if there is an actual spec. Excessive motion would indicate a thrust washer worn out. After that, I would pull the tail assembly off and check both main bearings, input rollers and spin cluster gear and listen for a similar noise to what you heard.

So Dan @ Brewers said the cluster washers were worn. Did you check out the YOU TUBE video on the 833 making noise? If the washers are worn the cluster gear will move back and forth hitting the sides of the gears on the main shaft as I posted earlier.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I suspect that you are going to find something fouled up in the clutch. Something that causes intermittent disengagement issues. Maybe a broken spring, cracked disc hub, lining delamination, etc. Check it over good.

If the washers are worn the cluster gear will move back and forth hitting the sides of the gears on the main shaft as I posted earlier. They are not too thin, just full of trash which scratched up the cluster real bad. Trans was dis-assembled when I looked at it but I doubt it has more than .025" endplay even with the washers bad. I suspect at this point something in the bell also, the noise is not always there. It can come or go, even in the same gear.
