I noticed today coming home from work i get a 5 gear vibration but, only sometimes. If i take it out of 5 it goes away and if i push the clutch in and rev on it it goes away. I'm stumped. It comes and goes when it wants mainly accelerating around 60 and if i let off the gas. Its not like a real bad shaking but it is definalty noticable anyone have any clues.Thanks in advance.travis

U-Joint possibly. Also, did you recently have gears installed? It's a drivetrain issue.

If your driveshaft bolts were loose that would definitley result in a vibration. You should tighten them to about 95lb-ft. and for some insurance, use some blue locktite. Glad the problem is fixed.
