Trans noise

My trans is noisy in 5th gear,or when you let off the gas. I think it is a W55 trans,5 seed manuel,88 SR5,2wd truck. Shifts fine,does not grind or pop out of gear? Figure it's just wear,is there any additives that will help??

No one has an answer??

Mine does too. Its just wear. Needs new gears.

sounds like input shaft bearing... I have never seen worn gears,usually replace those with shift probs or grinds between shifts or pops out of gear... Imo toyotas and honda 5 spd trans are bullet proof (as long as there not abused)

try changing your fluid to synchromesh fluid
gm makes it and uses it in all of their manual trans,i sell it to ricer honda guys all the time and they love it!
