    Actually I can’t feel it in the shifter. It’s only under acceleration or deceleration. I just drained the fluid through a screen with some heavy magnets, and it’s as clean as can be. It’s a bit darker red than new, but no metal particles to be found. I’m really confused what’s happening. You’d think a broken tooth would have been caught by the magnet?

    If your truck is talking to you listen , you don't want to wait for the big hook and pay alot more..

    High gear is closest to the input shaft. So its possible to be a bearing. But could be a worn fork, something in the counter shaft or even a broke tooth still. No telling where the piece is. They don't always come out with the oil. Could have already been ground up and a small flake between gear teeth is your noise.


    Thing is it won't get any better

    Well it was put in 2007. That’s all I know. Guess anywhere from 500 to 800,000.

    I’m guessing it’s nothing that could be fixed while it’s in the truck.
