Odd,

My L52 5 speed in my 83 is doing the same thing. Loud in 1st, 2nd, 3rd (not 4th) and 5th gear makes noise just not as much as the first 1-3. I have been having a hard time trying to find a replacement. I know I could bolt a newer one in, but that will require drive shaft mods. I was wondering if there is a newer tranny I could install with a newer driveshaft so I would not have to deal with driving way out of town to a driveline shop and the time it would take to get shortened.

I think the sound is just shot bearings, reminds me of a old 3 speed tranny out of a fj40.
