Listers,   Drove my GT6 to work twice this week, and now it has a very
noticeable "whapping" in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  Sounds good in 4th, so far. It
has a frequency of from about 3 to 20 Hz, increasing with engine speed. So
now it's parked for the rest of BritCarWeek!!#@**# (expletive deleted).  
Question:   What in the tranny might be associated with just the lower 3
gears?  It has fresh 80w-90 Valvoline gear oil.  D-type OD.  Sound seems to
come from the main section of the tranny.  I've never done tranny work, but
it looks like I'm about to.  Any insight is appreciated.
