We have an 07 Cameo and had the same problem. The chatter is likely indicative of trouble -- the motor has come loose and no longer engages the gear box tightly, which leads to gears partly meshing.

I have noticed that the gearbox has more holes for mounting than the builder provided motor bolts for; three or four vs two or three, I can't recall. I found this out by buying a gearbox from a third party -- not Alko -- and saw the difference.
