Good Morning all, Quick question, I have a noisy second gear ( 1980 R100RT 85K )
clunk , clunk and a shaft running noise.
Its only in second. First is fine and as soon as I get up into third she runs like a dream.
Anyone else have this?
Where shall I start ? gearbox? Bendix? spline lub?
 
What does the magnetic drain plug look like? Normal gray fuzz or does it contain slivers of metal? If the latter, it's gearbox time.
