driveline noise
#16
It could be the ring and pinion gear making the noise due to worn out pinion shaft bearing as well as carrier bearings. The noise would get louder with time if this is the cause. The difficult in shifting would more than likely be worn out synchro rings. The mileage has its toll on the early gen synchros. My comments are based on my experience servicing these transaxles.
