Paul,
  You may get a double dose of this message. There was just a "glitch"
on this system and I lost it for a whil. 
  To try and give you some help, I had the same problem with my TR4.
  Tighten or replace the clevis clips holding the linkages to their 
respective
ends. Also, I found that spraying the inside of an appropriate length of 
vaccuum hose and sliding it over the linkage rods helps to reduce 
vibration. Some of the curves on the linkages are a little tricky, but it
can be done. Good luck.
