I don't think a spun bearing would care what gear the transmission is in. What does it sound like and where does it appear to be coming from?

Maybe the shifter stick is vibrating against the adjustable shift stops on the pro 5.0? My Hurst was doing that in fourth, so I backed the stop up a hair and that cured it.
