Anybody ever notice a noise letting on and off on the gas in reverse?
Like a slight clunk when you first give it gas.
I notice this more on an inlcine.
Figured it was normal to have a some slack in the gearbox, and taking up that slack is what the noise is. I think it's called "backlash".

They are straight cut/spur gears....unlike helical forward gears. That is why...
