Hi, new here, but I've been lurking and learning for quite awhile. I've had my '30 Model A Coupe for about 2 months. The person I purchased it from rebuilt the transmission with all new gears. It makes a slight growling noise in first, and a louder growling noise when I shift to 2nd. The worst is when it's in 2nd and I slow down letting the engine hold the car back. I've never been in or driven another Model A, so I don't have anything to compare this noise to. Is this growling normal?
