It wasn't a problem till higher speed due to more vibration, etc. Something to check before you pull the tranny, you never know.

This is a valid point. I know you have a "bastardized" shift linkage and the engine is in the "wrong" location for a V8. 
If this turns out to be the case (and I hope it is), that's one more salvo in my arsenal for why NOT to put a V8 in the I6 position.:p
Editors note: I also know that Jewels inherited this backyard engineering and did not self-inflict it upon herself. Longhorn Man and Crazy L, what say ye?
