In my 72 beetle 1300 when im driving normaly in 3rd or 4th gear at hit speeds normaly over 70k's or when im redlining the rev's teh gear box makes a wine/grone. if i grab the stick and hold it then it stops, problem slovered. Im wondering if it is the bushes or something to do with maybe a small washer or rubber between the stick and box making a vibration, any ideas would be much appreciated????
