Does anyone else experience shifter vibrations and annoying rattling noises in higher rpm's? I've heard it might be from my bronze shifter bushings but I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem.

does the transmission grind from time to time when you shift? if so the gears are probably just starting to wear

Mine does the same thing. Shifter noise and vibiration in higher rpms.. but I grind every now and then going into 5th. 4th is fine.

This is driving me crazy aswell so if someone know's whats going on that would be great to share some info.
