4kq gearbox making noise...

[Alan Kramer]

Rich,

   When I switched from dino-sludge to synth-sludge in my '83 CGT, the 
tranny was definitely louder, especially during the first month or 
two...Either I'm now used to it or it is now actaully quieter.  It wasn't as 
loud as reverse, but was the same sound.  Reverse seemed no louder than 
before.
