Nope. Broken clip is in the bottom of the rear case now. Ticking would be the loose gear backed off its splines and bouncing about loose on the rear part of the shaft.

I just completed the repair on this exact same problem . very easy repair I used the new clip and retainer collar from the post stated and it works PERFECT . had gotten a price of 500-700 dollars to rebuild the tranny and fix it . I tried this sure enough 5th gear had slipped back and i found the clip in the bottom . the repair was rather simple and was under say 80 bucks including all the fluids and parts . if you have any questions shoot me an email I will be glad to help in any way i can .

That tranny in the thread is mine. The fix was very easy to do for even me (Although I did have Max guiding me). Just make sure you don't lose any of the bolts and you're golden :D

Yes! Mine made all kinds of terrible rattling noises when it was idling in neutral. however, my main and counter 5th gears were destroyed and their teeth were sitting in the botom of the tranny.

I hope that this is not the case with you.

Glad it worked out for you. By any chance did you get any photos of any of this to post up?
