I posted this over on OLLR and didn't get much response so...
Whenever I shift my '73 SIII 88, as soon as the clutch disengages (pedal pushed in), there is a clunk in the gearbox. When the pedal is released, there is another clunk. This can be felt in the pedal and gear lever. Last weekend I opened the TC while changing the oil in the main box, overdrive, and TC. The green arrow points to a gear which can be wiggled quite a bit. Grabbing the two prop shafts, they can be moved in opposite directions quite a bit (TC in N) before catching. My questions: How much slop is normal in the wonky gear? Is the prop shaft movement described normal? What's the likely cause (specific part) that's worn? What suffix gearbox do I have and how do I tell/confirm?
Many Thanks
