I had a similar issue with the gauge in my 41' and it ended up being a broken wire on for one of the gauge windings. If you check resistance values of the gauge you will most likely find the issue. I was able to repair my gauge with some solder, a steady hand, and a ton of patience. The circled area is where I had to perform the repair.

How frustrating that must have been for you. I have always done my own work and for that exact reason, plus I enjoy it most times.

David, I agree that the bearing cage fault frequency seems to be an unlikely culprit in this scenario. I would describe the noise to be a factor of approximately .43 to engine RPM. To answer your questions, the car is not equipped with overdrive, so that can be eliminated. You are correct in assuming that the 1st/reverse sliding gear is only active when the driving shaft is in motion, so it can be eliminated because the noise is present with the car stationary. I have confirmed that the noise is present in first while the the vehicle is in motion and sounds to be about the same frequency as when stationary. I know the noise is present when the transmission is in 2nd, clutch depressed, and vehicle is coasting. I have not verified if the noise is present with the transmission in neutral, vehicle coasting, and clutch depressed or released and will try this tonight. Also, I have not noticed the noise in reverse and will have to double check. You bring up an interesting point in regard to the countershaft thrust clearance. During my inspection with the transmission disassembled I found the front thrust washer to have some wear that appeared a little odd, but the surface was still smooth. It looked as though there may have been some debris imbedded at some point, but it cleaned up well and I reused it. The countershaft rotates at a factor of .65 to engine RPM, however I have not considered axial movement against the spring-loaded rear thrust surface. I will have to take a look and see if the helical pattern of the gear would even cause rearward movement or simply keep the countershaft towards the front thrust surface. Thank you for your thoughts, it helps to hear other ideas simply talk it through with another person. Good luck with the snow, It has been in the 80's here is South Florida. Tim

Chris,
Thank you for your input and thoughts on the noise. The reason that I’m almost convinced that it’s in the transmission is that I can hear the noise frequency decrease at idle, when the clutch pedal is depressed. As if I can hear the transmission internals slowing to a stop. However, internal inspection of the transmission does not reveal any faults. I spent nearly 20 years as a transmission/drivetrain specialist for Ford and always dreaded cars with manual transmission noises for this exact reason.

John,
I wish it was that cut and dry, but the throw-out bearing does not make contact with the pressure plate fingers because of a small spring attached to the clutch shaft bearing retainer. Tim

Thank you Bill,
The noise actually becomes faster (higher frequency) when coasting with the transmission in 2nd and clutch depressed. This is evident when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. However, I can't recall if the noise is present with the shifter in neutral and coasting. Thanks, Tim

Hello fellow enthusiasts, so I have had my 41' Clipper for nearly a year and have been working on getting the car road worthy since I purchased it. The car has not ran since approximately 93' and is now a fantastic running and driving car. Now for my problem, the car has an annoying ticking noise at idle, in 1st and 2nd gears while driving. I can't tell if the noise is present in third. The noise goes away when the clutch pedal is depressed and will resume when released. I removed the transmission, inspected every gear and bearing and only replaced the clutch shaft bearing and driving shaft assembly due to less than ok preload and slight roughness, everything else looked perfect. Unfortunately this did not even change the noise for the better or worse. I have since used an app to determine the noise frequency, calculated the speeds of every rotating transmission component in relation to engine speed measured with a tach and found the noise to be at the exact speed of 1st gear on the driving shaft. This was already replaced so I'm a little perplexed at this point. I also calculated the possible bearing fault frequencies for every internal bearing and the only one close is the cage for the pocket bearing between the clutch and driving shafts. Any thoughts or cases of this on anyone's car?
Thanks in advance, Tim
