Gearbox popping noise

Ok I fubared my sector shaft on my 75 2wd box. I installed a diy hydroassist cap on the bottom, and somehow my sector shaft skipped a tooth or got jammed in the box.

I noticed this when I put my pitman arm up to finish my steering linkages, no more than aquarter turn either direction. Pulled the sector shaft cap off and found my bind. Had to break the shaft to get it out because the casting of the box covered any removal access.

Got a new 2wd shaft, installed it and works good except when I am almost at full lock to the right. At that point I hear and feel in the wheel, a pop. When I turn the wheel to the left, no pop...

This noise is with no linkages hooked up. I inspected the teeth on the piston, no cracked teeth. And this is with no hydro assist (engine off).

Any thoughts or ideas on this noise?
