I dunno.... There can be a lot of noises in that box. None of them tend to be good or cheap.
Really I think the first thing I'd do is check ALL mounting bolts for that loader. Then I'd check all the bell housing bolts and the rear transmission bolts to make sure nothing's loose or broken. Then I'd check the steady bearing on the drive shaft, and the oil level and condition in the hubs and front differential. I'd also turn the wheels from lock to lock and get a REAL GOOD look in at those U-joints. It's nothing for tha axle to drop a spider, and believe me, they will GROWL. It may seem to you that the noise is coming from the transmission, but it can be hard to tell exactly where the source is in a driveline because sometimes it will transfer... but U-joints and steady bearings are the top things to check I think. I've changed several of both on my 3930. Going into the transmission is a last resort. I've not had any bearing trouble in there but it's had three 3rd/4th gear syncro's at this point. You can expect a 2-10 grand expedition if you go rooting in that thing yourself. It would probably be close to 2 grand for bearings, seals and shims along with the PTO input and a clutch/PP.... doing the work yourself. Labor mounts up quickly too because that's one poison prick to work on.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
