Re: Clicking Sound In 3rd
Gearboxes whine then growl then BOOM.
Or they start jumping out cos the dogs are worn. Or they constantly grumble cos bearings break down. Then there's a big bang and oil all over the back tyre as the output shaft bearing collapses. Tapping is almost always one link in chain is either stiff... or pitch of chain is changing across one link cos one set of pins are more worn than tothers making one link too long. This one jumps on and off the sprockets instead of rolling. Don't go pulling gearbox in bits, don't be silly. If you think this, drop oil through a pillowcase and past some magnets. Gearbox losing teeth (clicking) would be teeth or lots of metal in oil.

Re: Clicking Sound In 3rd
Okay I plan on changing the chain very soon, thanks for the advice guys.
I'm also noticing a strange "jingle" with the throttle / any vibrations. Is this normal? I'm feeling like a bloomin' hypochondriac! |
