I am positive that I read that answer to this question here recently, but I can't find it now. As I recall, what I read was that it is somewhat normal for 1st gear in my '79 5-speed to have a knock at low speeds. I can only hear this if my window is down and I am next to a wall.

Is my memory correct or was this all conjured up in a dream? Of the 3 running 928s that I have, all 3 make the same noise.

 

not normal but not an uncommon problem as the spacing of the reverse gear gets messed up and the edge hits a gear when in 1st...

 

Thanks. This has been driving me nuts.

 

Yes makes you quick to shift into second...

 

Will this cause damage or is it just annoying?

 

chips the gear teeth on the edge.....
