folks, this happens intermittently especially when i'm rough with the gearchange (especially the lower gears) or when i let try to accelerate in a high gear.what is the symptom for:1. wear in engine mounting?2. wear in rear pittman (dogbone) arms?3. wear in center bearing (prop shaft)i have already changed the plastic bushing for the gearlever pivot and also the plastic white spline bushing near the center prop shaft coupling.another issue i have is vagueness in selecting 3rd. or 5th gear - the horizontal travel plane feels a bit loose. again this is intermittent and happens when i downshift from 5th. to neutral when i cruise to a stop. thereafter selecting 5th. usually involves an effort to push similar to the reverse detent effort.
