Hello all,
The sm465 is producing "unusual" noises and vibrations when in third gear under power only. If, in third gear, going down hill under engine compression braking there is no noise or vibration.
What could this be?

What could this be?
Background:
- vehicle has been laid up for about a month, sitting level in the driveway. This was due to a rear spring flip, exhaust system reconfiguration, and all the related changes.
- Drive shaft replacement is pending.
- Drove on the road for apx. 3 miles. Parked, nose up on a 30* incline for apx. 1hr. No issue to this point.
- Got in and 1rst time hitting 3rd it was apparent that there was an issue: Sounded like the gears were not meshing properly and the stick had an unusually strong vibration!
- 4rth gear is not effected.
- No vibration or noise: with the clutch pedal depressed; t-case engagement has no effect;
- Again this only happens in third gear, under power.
- No issues in shifting in or out of any gear.
