3rd gear whines down like first gear does.
When I let off of the throttle in say 6th gear, there is a play before the tranny catches and it makes a slapping/tapping sound when it does. Same thing when I apply the throttle. 6th also makes a subtle whistling noise and I can hear gear(s) whirling away. If it were a car, I'd say the u-joints are broken. That's what it sounds & feel like.
Being a newbie, I'm not sure if this is normal or something is broken. What do you think?
