Back in the Honda Club

Some of you may remember that I had an 84 TRX200 back in the day. Well today I bought it back. Four years later I think it is The man I sold it to asks if I would like to buy it back and I did. It is pretty well exactly as I sold it, he only used it to push snow in the winter time.

Well the only thing different about it is the rattle in First gear High Range, He said it just started doing it this year, put it in first and it’ll go then it’ll jump and shimmy and rattle fiddling with the range selector makes it quit so How big an issue is it once inside the panel? I’ve got two other motors one in various pieces and one mostly complete that I can rob parts from. What do the HondaHeads think is the most probable cause?
