I am traveling and started to hear a rattle/knock in 5th gear. It goes away when I push in the clutch. I have an 2004 R50. I replaced the transmission a year ago with a factory reuilt Midlands (about 23K on it so far). Any ideas?
Ended up renting a UHaul truck and tow dolley to get the car home. After getting home went for a drive to try to determine the source I got nothing. Not a clack or rattle. Go figure.
