5th Gear, engagement noise L35 HELP !

[leisalu]

I have a Kubota L35 with only about 450 hrs. When I shift into or start out in 5th gear there's a little whining or chatter like noise upon initial engagement while shifting into 5th. Once it's fully engaged it's quiet. Also notice it a little too while shifting into 6th. Does it more when there's a load on it. All other gears are quiet when shifting. Does it with or without using the clutch. Anyone have any thoughts on this ???

Hello again….

I was wondering what came of your problem from your prior post about this… I am guessing nothing from the previous was helpful /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. KennyV.

Since your still having this anomaly I would definitely have your dealer check this out. What's really unusual here is that it only starts making this noise in 5th gear and above. I would discontinue using those gears until you have it checked out. Good luck.
