Hi Ted,

It should feel smooth. If in gear, you may feel a little bit of the gear
teeth pressing against one another, but it shouldn't feel rough. You may
have a bad bearing in there, that, in conjunction with a loose output
shaft nut, is causing a racket under certain load conditions??? It isn't
going to get any better, so I'd bite the bullet and take it apart and
see what is going on in there.

When I spin slowly if feels pretty rough. I can feel resistance
here and there. If I spin it pretty fast I can't tell. It might
be a little bit smoother in lower gears.
