Reverse snapping
My 1923 has started to occasionally make a snapping sound when its under a heavy load,it does it when backing up a incline or on soft ground. The noise is coming from transmission not rear end,any ideas where to start? Both forward gears work fine

Re: Reverse snapping
One possibility, rear end problems can 'transmit' the sound to the tranny.
Mine had the same issue, banging in reverse, but not forward, (backing out of my shop rolls into sand), sounding like it was thumping under my feet.
In my case the driveshaft roller bearing (among other things) was shot causing the pinion to pop out of mesh with the ring in reverse. It acted fine going forward.

Re: Reverse snapping
Kurt is right
nearly certain it's either pinion roller bearing failure or differential thrust washer failure
stop driving the car NOW. The ring/pinion are undoubtedly being damaged and the longer it's driven the worse the damage will get (including loss of brakes and further related damage).
