5-speed won't turn clockwise smoothly
5-speed won't turn clockwise smoothly
What have I done?
TIA,
B
I'm kind of worried because I've got a Getrag 5-speed and I removed the seals for replacement (not sure if that's related to the issue at hand, though). Clockwise rotation of the input shaft is kinda difficult because it gets "blocked" then I can finesse it to go again...and so on, start and stop. It will rotate freely and easily counter-clockwise indefinitely, however. There's also a metallic rattle upon rotation now.

Does this happen in neutral? In gear? Or both?

I would assume it would be time to open it up to see if anything broke or maybe some debris got in it. But maybe someone else would chime in for another opinion.

there's definitely more folks there to help you out.
I still think your going to have to open it up. Tilting it 30 degrees does seems like a foreign object is loose or an internal part is not secure.
