noticeable - a loud clicking every few revolutions in first gear, and much
worse in second (I don't seem to have enough power to move the car in third
or higher, and before adding another motor I thought I'd get the gearing
sorted first).
Is this a common problem on the 8448? Badly designed gearbox, or could I
have misplaced a couple of parts?
