Default Transmission makes strange clicking sound while accelerating in 1st gear only.

Once I shift, the sound is gone. Any ideas?

Default Probably have a chipped gear on the transmission main shaft

Its either time for a new trans or time for a new mainshaft....just saw one of these at work with the exact same problem.

Default I had the same issue, got progressively worse with time and moved to other gears...

I just replaced it last week. First gear likely isnt the issue, its probably a missing tooth off the main shaft.

Default Most problems could be solved by rebuilding

It just depends on how much its going to cost you.
