Thanks on the jack. I checked my jack and it seems the swivel plate is pressed into a bearing, so that won't come out. Plus I shifted into 3rd and got out the handy iPhone to take close photos of the linkages to see if there were any visible signs of link slippage on the joint teeth (such as no dust) and I didn't see any. At this point it seems I just need to call Tommy to change the trans mounts and check this third gear issue. Thanks for all your input, some things I can do & some not. At least this makes me get the mounts done.
