Oh just any highway or road, but to answer your qy=uestion RT61
 






Mine always shook.
 






mine shakes pretty good too
 






mine shakes no more than 1/4" unless theres a bump. i drive about 80 miles a day. i hope this is normal!!!
 






ok well from the sounds of it I gues its normal, I was just worried something was loose or something inm the tranny was f'ed up
 






Truck's fine..my buddy's ranger does the same thing..

Also you live rather close to me..so hey.. lol
 






Thanks, I just wasn't sure what to think, But now I know.
 






My shifter did that before the rebuild....and it still does it AFTER the rebuild...so I would say it is normal!

Mine does the same, and its only a couple months old. I think its because the shifter is bolted directly to the transmission, so there is no buffer effect with linkage. I am hoping to put in a short throw pretty soon, maybe it will knock some of the vibration down.

Yeah right there is there main reason. I wish it would not be like that!

I drove my buddies jeep around, and man smooth shifting, loved everyminute. Got back in my exporer and it felt wierd.
