Thanks for the long in depth reply.
Well here's where I am at:
I bought a completly rebuilt 1/2 ton tranny from MWM.
I didn't buy a top shifter assembly becuse I had an unknown condition 1/2 ton assembly complete sitting around and thought I would just use that top shifter, as is.
After installing this new tranny with the used unknown condition top shift assembly, I was experiencing a grinding or better described as a "growling" or "GGGGGRRRRRR" noise.
Pushing in the clutch, the noises went away
Let out clutch, in nuetral, and sounds came back
All opinions said replace the throw out bearing
I did that. I still have the noise but it's a lot less in volume by FAR. But it's still there.
Now I have this slight "chirping" noise when I let out clutch, in any gear I'm in. Obviously most noticible in nuetral as the other truck noises don't mask any sounds when sitting still.
So I'm at a loss at this point. I know the shifter needs rebuilding. It's so "loosey-goosey" and I'm experiencing
(Sometimes) after returning the tranny to nuetral position after being in reverse, I can't find any forward gear.
Talking to John at midwest he thought the shifter tower assembly needs rebuilding.
I didn't mention the "chirping" sound because I was really concerned about the assembly wear and gear selection issue.
My mind was thinking that if this assembly was SO worn that maybe, just maybe, the forks were letting the selected gears move about and just barely touch one another and that's the faint "chirping" I'm hearing?
