Are you sure the chatter isn't from the speedometer? |
And you don't notice any noise coming from it? I had tried white lithium grease initially, though I didn't pack it, and the chatter was terrible. Went to a multi-purpose, more viscous grease and it seems to chatter less, unless it's cold - warmer days don't have as much of an issue.
I'm sure it's coming from the changer, as it almost exclusively does it when in OD. For example, I can run up to 60 mph out of OD, hit the clutch, flip the switch, and once the speedometer changes, it will immediately start chattering. If I maintain speed, switch back out of OD, chatter goes away. Visually there isn't enough wear on the gear and shaft components to account for the chattering, so I'm assuming (we all know what that does) it's improper lubrication on my part.
