on my 73 upon deceleration the transmission, growl is extremely noisy. sounds like the pinion / main shaft bearing.... has anyone experienced this? simple fix? not sure if it is related by my speedometer bounces.
Thank you
Neil

Check your fluid level. It wouldn't be a bad idea to change it either.

You will need to reduce the size of your picture to get it to load.

That sure is a different color than what I would expect.... Do you know if you have brass synchros?
Lloyd of RBT told me that the "normal" noise is often caused by pits on the bearing races of the bearings on the rear of the tranny (under the black cast cover).
Not sure if I would try and do anything to those bearings without getting the tranny out of the car, and while you are in there, you might as well check everything else out....

Excellent advice, Chuck. For the OP, go to this forum's archives and follow the pictorial overhaul that Kirk Evans did a year or so ago for a customer. It was truly hard to believe that ZF could propel a Pantera down the road without exploding into shrapnel! Hopefully yours is in better shape. Kirk said this usually comes about from a failure to change ZF lube at least once a year. Some ZFs still have 45-year-old OEM lube in them!
