Reply to "3rd gear grind and pop out"

Thanks for the tip. I was able to look at the rear joints to make sure they are tight and they were tight and I looked to see if there were any marks on the rod showing slippage but nothing visible. Tough for me to get to the joints by the engine & seems I would have to jack up the car to really get at those. If I keep these cars I really need to get a very low car jack, especially for the black 5s because it is real low. I may just take it into Tommy because the rear trans bushings need replacing anyway since they are crumbling a bit. Maybe that is actually part of the problem, however there isn't really any give there from what I can tell. Too many cars isn't all that fun anymore once I passed 60. Like what Danny Glover says in Lethal Weapon "I'm getting too old for this shit". Or I just drive & skip 3rd gear, haha. At least I can get it to his shop that way but need to get a low jack as well.
