I recently acquired my first Squarebird. When I bought it there was a knocking sound coming from somewhere in the engine compartment. At first I thought it could possibly be a loose wrist pin. The symptoms were a moderate knocking noise in a relatively rapid succession. This would only happen at idle, and primarily when it was placed in park. I soon realized though (to my relief) that when I applied a little pressure to the downshift linkage the noise completely disappeared. I have since adjusted the linkage, and the noise is gone. It does still clunk/knock a little when I place it into d2 but very rarely. The problem now is that there is a buzzing noise coming from the transmission. I have not driven it yet so I do not know if my adjustments have affected the shifting points but I would like to resolve this problem before I drive it.
Any experience or insight to this issue and what is actually going on would be very helpful.
