TR4/4A Transmission noise - intermittent

[Popeye]

The Tr4 trannys suffered from a very iffy counter shaft bearing, they die a horrible death
if they do NOT receive good maintenance. Any sign of "not quite right" in an old Tr4 box
should NOT be ignored ! Park it at once ! The failure of this bearing will destroy the entire
assembly in very short order and take the OD with it too.

Thanks for the advice. John does recommend frequent oil changes - perhaps for this reason!

Yes this will reveal the swarff from the early signs of failure. Also install a magnetic
drain plug to collect any steel. Fine brass particles are OK. Steel is NOT.....
