Default 6th gear problems

Hey

I've got a 95 Z28 and when I shift into 6th gear and try to accelerate, the transmission shakes terribly. It feels like the car is about to fall apart. It doesn't happen in any other gear or speed, just when I shift into 6th and accelerate. It's fine when I'm in 6th and let the accelerator off and coast. Any ideas?

Thanks

How fast are you going when you put it in sixth? If you're putting it in sixth below highway speeds, like during around town driving, it's possibly the engine chugging and lugging that you feel.

I found that 6th gear on the 4th gens was rarely appropriate unless traveling around 80mph. My wife's (previously my brothers) 95 Formula LT1 did the same exact thing..so I know what you mean.
