I notice the drivetrain lash in 5th and 6th.

Does anyone get a lot of lash in 2nd as well? For example, clutch engaged, when you're off the gas then hammer it in 2nd? On my car, you can feel a split second of play/slop before it feels like you're getting rear-ended when everything catches up to the engine.

I had someone rev the engine while I popped the hood, and there's minimal movement, so I don't think it's the engine mounts. My guess is there's a lot of movement in the rear differential. Perhaps it's time for rear differential bushings.
