95 Trooper (Bighorn) gearbox probs?

Actually, it may be a normal thing.. if you are in too high of a gear for
the speed you are going, then it will vibrate and make noises.. this is the
engine straining with a high-gear @ low speed. try a lower gear, if this
solves the problem, then you have found the answer... however, you still
want to check the gasket, make sure the gearbox is oiled properly, and there
are no broken teeth (this wouldnt cause the vibration, but when you replace
the seal on the gearbox, it's always a good idea to double check the gears)

Assuming you ain't luggin' , this ain't normal my friend. Have the tranny
checked. (And I'll even resist the temptation to have it checked before it
gets pregnant - what with that broken rubber and all).

Seriously, that is where I'd check first - my old Trooper is as smooth as
silk with 100k+ miles on it.
