Could very well be the rear main bearing, although it doesn't sound like a bearing at least to me.
No way a main bearing failing lives that long, trust me on that [/quote] Oh I don't know about that short life of a noisy bearing. I had one making bad noise for a couple years. Drove across the state a couple times towing my brother's cars on my trailer. Sounded like the rr, looked ok, but replaced it anyway. My brother thought it was the lr, it looked fine, but replaced it also. I finaly took apart the rearend and found the pinion bearing real bad.

Ok, just for the heck of it
are you people saying 'main bearing' talking about the ENGINE'S rear main bearing? or the transmissions rear or front 'main' bearings?
The ENGINE has already been eliminated from making the noise, so that's OUT
stick with the TRANSMISSION'S bearings, thankyou.
None of my replies have anything to do with the engine, only the transmission bearings. After all, this discussion is about his TRANSMISSION, thankyou.
So lets all get on the same page: his TRANSMISSION, not his engine.

I would think he has a pilot bushing, not a bearing OP, is it a bearing or bushing? As I stated in my original post: "... new input bushing..."

No way a main bearing failing lives that long, trust me on that What I'm thinking too, although the thought of the rear main partially galling is tempting. Still, I don't hear a bearing. I could be dead wrong, but I don't.

Yes, that is why the LONG ROD, or steel handle from the floor jack, keeps the person out from under the car.
I reckon not. Exhaust, in this case 3" diameter, is dead in the way of doing much transmission prodding without at least plunking yourself down on the concrete to get an angle.

I don't see anyone talking about the engine. From what I've seen, the furthest forward I've seen mentioned is the input bushing so far. Yes, for the record, I've pretty much ruled out anything to do with the engine (or the clutch, for that matter) because the noise does not change in frequency or speed itself. Further, it is not affected by RPM of the engine or whether the clutch is in or out. Doesn't care where the gear shift is either. Thanks!

And a couple more, plus me, mention the TRANSMISSION MAIN/MAIN SHAFT BEARINGS BEARING/S. I'd sure like to know what it is. I've never heard that noise before.

You can also remove the speedo pinion gear/adaptor and make a metal plate to cover the hole. They actualy make those plates. Then drive the car and see if the noise is still there. At the very least it would eliminate that possibility of the speedo cable gear assembly making the noise.

Maybe it's not in the trans, maybe it's on the underside of the floorboards? Maybe it's something in or on the exhaust pipes.

I've never heard that noise before. Sorry, hadn't gotten that far in the comments. Speaking of not knowing what the noise is, none other than Dan Brewer has conversed with me a couple times this week and he's stumped, too! I'm about ready to yank the trans and discard it at this point.

At the very least it would eliminate that possibility of the speedo cable gear assembly making the noise. Yeah, I've written about doing that. Gets tiresome and messy, though - you lose fluid when you pull the speedo gear, then have to pump it back in the dang thing every time. Nonetheless, that's what I'm doing next, followed by a replacement of the slip yoke and u-joints. I figure those would need attention eventually anyways, so it's not a wasted effort to do so even if I wind up replacing the transmission. Worth a shot.

Reviewing - these are KNOWN so far: 1. Speed is the only cause factor. 2. Noise comes on all at once, instantly - doesn't change in intensity or pitch once it starts. 3. Doesn't change with engine speed, clutch or shifter position. 4. Not speedometer cable. 5. Begins after the car has travelled a half dozen miles or so. 6. Begins at speed above 50mph. 7. Emanates from portion of transmission directly below/behind shifter.

Okay, let me throw this out. It started with a hard romp. Any chance that the vent baffle in the extension housing came loose and is 'fluttering'?

I agree with tman, that sounds like a vibration buzzing. Get under the car and check all the bolts holding your shifter in place, even the ones holding the aluminum mounting plate to the trans. It could also be the shift rods vibrating. Tape some rags, temporarily, to the shift rods and see if the noise changes. Make sure the shift rod links at the transmission are tight.

How about this. Remove the boot and such from the shifter, and while driving have someone stick their ear, or a probe to see if they can pin point the noise. Were you at any of the Rogersville downtown cruise in's that they had on Friday night last summer? I had the 71 Road Runner, maybe we talked.

Dude, how far down this rat hole are you going to dig yourself into? Transmission MAIN Bearing, which school did you learn that term from Front input shaft bearing, rear output shaft bearing, cluster shaft needle bearings and some bushing in a lot of different stick shift transmissions, no automotive standard transmission I have ever heard of or read about mentions a transmission MAIN bearing in them Do we really need to go on about your concerns on words used in this discussion

Can anyone confidently recognize this noise? TIA!!
Sounds to me like rear main bearing in the transmission?????? [/quote]So, Cab_Burge, why don't you get on THIS person's case? HE was the first to call it 'main bearing'. lol I was just following along...so don't sweat it.
