  I've got a '95 4x2 with the same basic configuration.

  I definitely do have this, and have mentioned it to the dealer.
They tell me it's normal. I don't know whether to believe them.

  Anybody else with the 5 speed notice this noise?

  I don't notice this, either. It must be pretty loud to be able
to hear over the other highway noises!

  I'd sure like to know whether or not these are normal, or symptoms
of a tranny waiting to go...

  Keep the list posted on your progress,

  Ron
