Between 3rd and 5th gear ( manual transmission ) there's a jerking motion. None of the gages in the dash cluster move. The oil isn't low either. I must mention that there is 319,000 miles on the vehicle but I haven't have any problems with it until now and I've had it for almost 3 years and put about 100,000 miles on the vehicle myself. Someone, please help!

You have pretty much answered your own question. Change the fluid and filter and put a bottle of lucas conditioner in there. Likely the valving is all gummed up.
The conditioner should help with that. It will not happen immediately though...it took time to build up gunk...takes a while to remove it. If it helps, change the fluid again (you actually are only changing about half of it on each change) and use additive again.
Since it works manually, I don't recommend doing any adjustments.
