>Listers,
>Last fall, I complained to the list of a disturbing "whirring" noise when
>decelerating in 3rd gear. I checked the trans. oil (an over-drive unit)
and
>the level was half way between add and full. There always has been alot of
>play in the gear shift, and Barney Gaylord suggested the gear bushing was
>bad, and was kind enough to send me one. Well, I finally installed it
>today, and the noise did not go away! The play in the shifter is gone
>though, and when I took it apart I discovered that the old bushing wasn't
>just worn...it wasn't even there!!! Anyway, I assume then that I have
>damage to 3rd gear. My question is: Can I continue to drive it and just
>not down shift to third to slow down? Or will I do even more damage by
>driving it?
