So I’ve noticed some noises when shift gears and I’m really hoping it’s not anything too hard to fix. There is a click or click when shifting gears. More noticeable at lower RPM. Kinda feels like there is some lag when shifting. Could this issue be a shift bushing or linkage issue or does it sound like a clutch or mounts. Shift very smooth at higher rpm’s. Any help would be great!

A good start might be to change the gearbox oil
