Title: broken gearbox

Well it would seem that I have a problem with the gearbox. Got some strange squealing noise coming from it. Will have to strip it soon and have a look. The only problem is I am in the procces of building a 1000sq ft workshop, and I have just purchased another project.

got a feeling that the spigot bearing has collapsed and now putting a heavy load on the main shaft bearing. I had the same thing happen to my rally car. The truck is a 1946 chevy 2 ton stakebed. I plan on restoring it or hot rod it. Will have to wait and see what happens.
