I have an 85 with the 4+3. I'm getting an off throttle vibration in 3rd gear. The stick will violently start shaking like it's coming out of gear. As soon as I touch the gas it goes away. Shifting is smooth and no grinding.
I had the transmission out, and when I put it back in, I used a gauge tool in the side of the shifter for alignment so I could adjust the linkages.
The OD seems to work fine. I have the first gear switch shorted so I can control it with the console switch.
I didn't have this problem before, and I set the linkages according to the FSM specs.
Could this be as simple as a slightly out of adjustment linkage? If I wasn't completely in 3rd gear wouldn't I have other problems on the gas?
Worn 3rd gear synchro?
Any ideas?
Thanks
