I'm going to be a little long with my description, hopefully to help describe the problem. I have rebuilt my T-150 3 speed a couple of times in the past. The problem that I can't seem to solve is this.... When running thru the gears, 1st gear is quiet, 2nd gear is quiet, 3 gear is very noisy. After having it it 3rd, I push in the clutch, and the noise slowly spins to a stop. Transfer Case is in high. I put the jeep on stands in the back, and good in 1st and 2nd, but 3rd makes the jeep shake, like something is out of balance (It didn't fall of the jack stands, but felt like it kind of wanted to!) I have even put the front on the jeep on stands, put it is front drive only (twin stick installed), and same result, quiet in 1st and 2nd, whining loud in 3rd. I think that means I can rule out the Transfer Case being the issue. I've never replaced any gears, just the rebuild kit (syncros, bearings and gaskets). I'm pretty sure I put it together the way I found it, both times, but maybe the previous owner put it together wrong. Syncros, shims, etc... Has anyone solved for this before?
