Most probably the reverse idle gear, it's turning on its own (idling) whilst first is selected and then fully engaged in reverse.

Before thinking about rebuilding the gearbox, make sure that the gearbox has been properly filled to the correct level with the correct grade of oil. The gear runs on plain shaft (no bearings) so lubrication is important.

What grade oil and what kind should I buy so I know because the old type of oil from back in the day can't be bought I don't think

Whatever oil you put in there make sure it isn't gl5 spec.

And GL4 I think, they have additives which attack the bronze components.

Mines just been started on by someone in Plymouth-a company Alan Jeffries (enginetuner.co.uk) uses. Might be worth a phone call?
