Was making a short trip around some local twisties and hills and noticed that in 2nd and 3rd gear, when going from forward torque (engine torque) to reverse torque (coasting, engine braking) the shift knob would click and move slightly. There's no hitch in the drivetrain, just the shifter making a slight 'pop' and moving, in a different direction depending on whether I'm accelerating or using the engine to slow; e.g. pulling up a grade then lifting to coast at the crest. This doesn't happen in fourth gear, and I haven't noticed it in first.
Looking for a little help from the transmission gurus. I'm guessing worn layshaft, allowing some 'flex' between the laygear and the main gear. So far, this is an annoyance, but want to know if bad news may be forthcoming. Gearbox may have up to 90K miles since last rebuild, when we replaced the layshaft, bearings and seals.
