Are you sure you have a freewheelin' tranny, In "72? I though they got rid of those when they "beefed" the engine to 1.85L. Anyway, I'm with doug here. If it is definetely coming from the rear of the tranny, I'd also suspect drivers and such. Maybe you have a bad driver bearing? bad tripod bearing, or bad main bearing in the tranny. you may also just have something clunking around in there, I suppose. Can;t be a good thing either way. Those trannys were not known for being stout. There are 4 speeds out there so look into finding a spare. Opening the one you have up wouldn't be a bad idea all the same. Draining the oil might shed some llght fairly quick as you will see what the magnetic plug is catching: filings? normal. Chunks? Bad.
