Put some AMSOIL or REDLINE SYN OIL in the tranny and it will help.... You might also want to check the Primary Chain adjustment....

Thanks for your service to the USA. You and your buddies' contributions in a tough situation is deeply appreciated.

Oh yeah, and a little clunking is normal especially the first cold shift from neutral to first.
