Doug, The gearhub problem is more common in the earlier trannys and less common in the later ones. Also the tranny is designed to handle the power of the wateboxer engine with little low end torque. The problem may have been made worse by the conversion??? Be this as it may I would suggest you contacting our resident tranny expert on the list. Daryl and daryl and the other daryl. He is located somewhere in the great northwest but ships out from time to time. His rebuilds are some of the best has his heart is in his work. gary Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:27:14 -0500 From: Doug Alcock <doug.alcock@HEWITT.COM> Subject: 3/4 gear trouble?

Hi gang,

I've recently developed a grinding noise in my tranny when downshifting between 4th and 3rd gear. Is this the dreaded cracked gearhub? Is there anything I can do to delay getting the tranny rebuilt? This, of course, has to happen two weeks after the new I$ conversion was installed.......Arrrggghhh........

Thanks, Doug
