1981 Silverado not switching into third gear. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Took a drive home from my ladies house this morning, and noticed trouble getting into third gear. It would rev louder and louder, if i let off the gas a bit and revved again, the truck would suddenly switch into third and pull forward quickly. After 2 times of that, I couldn't get the truck into third. Just revving loudly at 2nd gear.

When I first started the truck i heard a few loud bangs or clanking noises when in idle. Couldn't tell where it was coming from but sounded like it was from the rear end, maybe just the exhaust.

Where to start to diagnose the problem?
