Possible excessive run out of the cable and or gear put wear on the tail shaft gear. I found the clip in the bottom of the tail shaft housing.

Don't ignore it or think you will get to it later. Check everything from gauge to transmission to make sure all is in order.

Mine started with a small bounce at the gauge.
When you go through your inspection, make sure you inspect the transmission tail shaft gear all the way around. If you have the car with the rear wheels up or the drive shaft out, rotate the tail shaft while keeping an eye on the gear. Make sure you inspect the gear thoroughly for wear.
