yes my manual eiger runs great gos thru all gears no problem but when you put in 5th it starts makeing a clunking sound. even more noticable when in low range.but still only in 5th! if your in 5th and its clunling you can pull up on the shifting lever and it gos away basickly like pulling the clutch! but only in 5th! any sujustions would be very thankfull!!! mike

 

please help!!!!

 

how loud and where is it coming from

 

it sounds like its comeing from inside the case down in the bottom.not to loud but you can here it! sorry thats the best i can describ it. only in 5th and its worst if you lug it. thanks mike

 

Snorcaleiger it sound's like you have a bad 5th gear , a broken tooth is my guess since it stop's when you pull up on the shift lever ; try to push down on the shifter when you're in 5th gear and hold the pressure on the shift lever to see if it stop's when you're holding down the (foot ) shifter lever as well .

If it stop's while you're holding pressure on both up shift and down shift , then it's a sure sign it's the 5th gear ; probally a broken tooth on the gear i wouldn't ride it with this happening if a tooth is damaged and the metal get's picked up in the oil it can chew up the other gear's as well

It's not really that bad to rebuild the gearbox i've done it without a manual , but i was a Small Engine tech over years so i didn't need one ; but with a good Service and Repair Shop manual anyone could do the job if they have the tool's to work with !

Good luck and welcome to the forums !........
