Hi all. I wanted to see if anyone can please provide me with direction of source of this noise might be.
1980 FJ43. In last 5 days I drove it 1100miles, no issues of any kind. It was super good on HWY and back roads. Speed was up to 75mph, no issues.
Yesterday I was taking kids to school, and it started to make this clunky noise.
In 1st gear starts immediately .
In 2nd, after I reach slightly higher speed from what 1st gear can give.
In 3rd, after going faster that 2nd gear.
In 4th, above 3rd gear speed.
With each higher gear, noise "builds up" and then shift time arrives.
Sort of each gear has to pass son its shifting speed for noise to continue.
I have recorded it, sound bit is added. You can hear shifting points, and clunking to follow.
I have no other issues, shifts very smooth, clutch engages what I think is perfect.
H2/H4/L2 all engage perfect.
There is no grinding that I can feel, via touching shifter, or H2/H$ shifter. No vibration other that normal car shake.
Cluck is present in all H2/H4/L2 drive mods.
It is not present while in gear but clutch is pressed.
Also not present in neutral, rolling down hill.
Only when drive is engaged and pulling forward. Did not her it in reverse.
Sound bit is:

Any help is appreciated.
I did search older posts, and found possible check point, CONE shaped cover. Will try to locate it and re tighten if needed.
