Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-36-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

My RJ58 has a noisy trans, guess I'll have to live with it. I rebuilt the trans put in all new bearings, bushings, seals and gaskets. I replaced the idler pulley with a new one and run a 85wt to120wt gear oil. All works fine, very smooth but noisy.

I haven't been in one of those but it sounds like a shimming issue to me.

Can't believe I missed this post Motor. My 3 piece 5010 also has gear noise which I attribute to the straight cut gears, just like most of the older transmissions (easier to manufacture). Actually I think the "whine" kind of :cool

Go figure, my '58 is a bit noisy as well, however the much less expensive ball of rust aka 1960 Suburban, is as quiet as a church mouse.
