In the meantime while I'm scrutinizing all the parts, I thought I'd share this video with you guys. Not a 246, but I found it interesting.

Mudsport96 I really appreciate you hitting me back on this. I need all the help I can get. The motor turns that shaft clockwise or counterclockwise depending on what gear is chosen so it's turning is not the issue I'm concerned with . It's lateral, up and down, back and forth movement I'm seeing. The shaft rides on a needle bearing I believe so that movement has to directly effect gear changes right? And the flopping around could definitely be a source of noise I'm thinking. A small roller pn the fork fits into the slot and it's only so wide. I don't see any evidence of it slipping out and marking anything though. Maybe the shift fork has enough play to "ride" along with it. Just guessing my self. Help me find someone that really knows these things.While i don't know that correct answer, i would guess there shouldn't be much play. Slop would make the motor have to move more before gear changes occur.
These don't have a high/ low range FYI.While its disassembled, stack together everything that is splined, like it would be if the case was assembled. Then, check for slack in spline mating surfaces, and the planetary set. I am kinda grasping for straws here, but without a unit in front of me its hard to visualize.
Edit
Also, check the parts that slide for the high - low range change. Maybe something is out of spec there..
It's got the NP8 Option which is the Dash mounted push button selector. "Auto 4 W, 2w drive, 4 high, neutral, and 4 low.These don't have a high/ low range FYI.
Sorry, I got the thread mixed up with another. I thought you had the NVG149, NP3 RPO. Never mind!It's got the NP8 Option which is the Dash mounted push button selector. "Auto 4 W, 2w drive, 4 high, neutral, and 4 low.
