CLICKING NOISE IN REVERSE

S2710

Well-known Member
A friend called me this morning and said that he put a new seal in his H output shaft and now it makes a clicking noise in reverse. He told me that when he tighten up the bolt to keep the shaft from turning he put the transmission in reverse. I would assume he did something in the transmission but what? Has anyone ever run into this and what do you do to repair it? Thanks

ALot of times that means there is a tooth (or two) missing from the reverse gear. It could be something else though.
 
He certainly didn't do any damage by putting it in reverse to tighten the bolt. If the little bit of torque he can make wrecked something, whatever broke was already plum wore out and ready to go at any minute anyway.

Could be a bearing clicking. Could be a broken tooth on the reverse gear.

Did he change the oil? What did he replace it with? Heavy gear oil covers up a lot of sins inside an old transmission like that.
 
If its the countershaft front seal. I would first double check things at the seal replacement. Make sure the seal retainer has the bearing seated to the housing and the nut is tight and pulling the countershaft to the bearing rear face. Front bearing places the shaft position in the housing. If the shaft is shifted a gear could be rubbing another gear.
