Something is making metal, see if you can find the wear point. Look closely at the shift forks.

What about the slop in the chain? IS that a normal amount or is ithard to tell because the main shaft isnt locked in place?

A GM repair manual will probably have an acceptable amount of deflection, one side is probably relatively tight while the other has some slack (like a bicycle chain).

I think I found my metal maker. Now I need to find a front shaft. The lower ridge is not supposed to be like that.
