Noisy S4 N/A 5-speed transmission
My transmission is suddenly very noisy in first, third and fifth, just howls, but not in second or fourth. Happened all of a sudden. Suspected lack of oil, so draind the tranny, full of oil. Small amounts of steel dust on the magnet on the drain plug. Filled the tranny with new gear oil, noise still there.
As it affects some gears and not others, is it a certain shaft bearing?
Should I drive it carefully to my mec 3 hours away, or should I trailer the RX7
Advice please. 1985 GSL SE 5 speed tranny will fit, I have a spare one?

the center counter shaft bearing is a double row ball bearing on the 81-87.5 transmissions, and the after market rebuild kits.
the ***** need a little retainer thing, and its plastic... so the ***** fall out, and it'll let the shaft move around, 4th is straight thru, so there is no load on the countershaft, so no noise.
the 87.5+ factory part is a tapered roller bearing. aftermarket is the double row ball
