grinding noise
when i am in fifth gear and going at about 1800 RPM i can feel this grinding all around my floor and i can really feel it on my shifter. i was just wondering if this is a normal feel, its a 5 speed 86 mustang gt with 67000 miles

my e-brake goes up pretty far but if i go down one click from the top its like there is no e-brake and its a vibration but it feels like something is grinding like a rough kind, its hard to explain

drive the car up on some ramps and check:
-your ebrake cables, see if they're rubbing the drive shaft
-check your u joints, wiggling the driveshaft could show some free play in them
the grinding/vibration, only when you give it gas, ie does it grind when you let off the gas in gear? It only happens in fifth or you only notice it in fifth? try taking it out for a ride and (not accelerating hard) just ride it up in the revs in 2 3 4, just ride the gears out to 4k at grandma speed and see if you notice anything. This could be as complicated as a trans rebuild or as simple as a tire out of balance
