    @LameMule yes the crankcase tube. The blowby doesn't look that bad but it's definitely oily under there. I haven't held it at 1800 in neutral yet.

    Ok, check all injectors and they seem to be fine. Checked all 3 ujoints and replaced 1 questionable one. 1800 rpms in neutral feels fine.

    Still has the violent shake in 5th and some in 6th. If I really ease the rpms in 5th it's not bad at all, but it has to be real easy.

    All drive tires need replaced, but that wouldn't cause a violent shudder in just one gear I dont think

    Does it do it at the same speed in a different gear?
     
    AModelCat Thanks this.

    Might take a good look at the carrier bearing/center support as well as any slip yokes.

    I'm leaning towards maybe the trans since it's those 2 gears

    Doubt it. Not unless you're seeing the same issue on the corresponding gears on the low side as well since they share the same path of power through the main box.

    @Bean Jr. has a great suggestion. Help determine if speed or RPM related.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    I changed out a carrier bearing in a Toyota and re-installed the driveline out of time, the thing felt like it had square wheels.
    Sometimes things appear just fine but most certainly are not.

    Could possibly be your Jack Shaft. They can cause nightmares also.
