Ford Maverick 2.7 Diesel, swb, 3 door, 94'.
When accelerating in 3rd or 5th gear, gears seem to be straining as if there was no oil and especially in 5th., needs to go up a gear!! This does not affect the performance, but is a 'gravelly' noise as if it is trying to tell me something.
No warning lights, etc., engine oil checked & okay.
Could it be the actual gears or some type of bearing?
Should I leave well alone as car is running great since I had the ignition problem fixed.
