Manual trans noise
I have a 91 F150, I6 with a 5 speed trans(don't know exactly what it's name is). When I let off the clutch and at low speeds in low gears there is a rattling sound coming from the trans. It has done this since I bought it 2 years ago(with 125k miles, now has 137k). Doesn't seem to affect operation, but was wondering what it might be.

Sounds like normal gear whine which occurs when when the transmission is under load...like slow speeds in a high gear.

It's not gear whine. It comes directly from the tranny. I can even feel it in the shifter.

Not for sure. I can pull the boot off and check it out. It would be nice if it was that simple. Thanks for the tip
