This is on my 1980 242 w/ M46.

I've never had a serious gearbox problem in a 240 but I believe it has finally happened.

I've noticed a noise for a while. The best description I can give is that it sounds like metal scraping against metal.

It occurs as I accelerate and dies when I push in the clutch pedal. Let out the clutch, the noise comes back.

It is very pronounced in 1st and 2nd gear, maybe a little less in 3rd and not heard at all in 4th.

Just this morning the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear occurences started to sound ugly. And it also started happening in reverse.

The absence of noise in 4th gear makes me think it is related to the intermediate shaft.

Am I thinking correctly? The car shifts and runs okay so far but I noticed a bit of hesitance in 1st today which was not previously happening.
