I fixed the problem. The 8th gear was worn badly, so the teeth were to thin and small. I found another 13 gear in my parts stash and changed it out. Comparing the size of the teeth compared to the one I put in, is about 1/2 the width of teeth. I probably wouldn't have noticed unless I had that other gear. The thin teeth must have been causing the syncing from being right to the chain. The bike that I bought for a song, has turn out to be the Titanic. I have almost replaced everything on it. Both derailers, one shifter, seat , chain, now 8th gear. Believe it or not the tires and wheels are good. The Bike had a ton of miles put on it by a guy that was using it for commuting. Mission Accomplished.. Yeah...... Thanks for all your input. Its good to know I have someone else to bounce ideas off of. Happy New Year
