I acquired a '51 M from my FIL that had been sitting for around 5 years.
Got it going again and now that it is moving, I found that the transmission is whinning. I figured I had better change the trans fluid. Drained out 4 to 5 gallons of water and not much oil. Filled it back up with new fluid.
That helped some but it still whines quite a bit. I also found that it pops out of 4th under a load (going up a long hill). I haven't tried 5th. All gears sound about the same, with the pitch going up for the higher gears. The whine goes away when not under load (downhill). There is no noise when in neutral with the clutch out. Also no noise when coasting.
Are the gears and bearings just rusty? Is a bearing going out? Should I keep running it to see if it clears up or will that cause more damage? Why is it popping out of 4th?
