I have a virbration that occurs at about 4800 rpms to redline... seems like just the shifter is vibrating...its really violent sometimes is so bad i can barely hang on the shifter...anyone know what could be causing this? or if this is a common problem? or is this car "for her pleasure" only? its starting to **** me off!!!
Im thinking it could be the driveshaft, but im not sure...

It's the drivesahft on my car. The U joints are loose, but you have to replace the entire driveshaft, not just the joints

Also, there is a shifter bushing (not likey it though) and at least 1 transmission mount. Check the drivesahft though.

yeah I get a kind of...buzzing noise but over about 5500 rpms.. Just everything in the car vibrates in a high pitch, not just the shifter.. Think thats my U joints? Its not really a bad or violent vibration but its always there at high rpm

Same here . Weird vibration when entering a downshift. when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd... as soon as i let go of the clutch , i get the vibration for about 2 seconds then it goes away.
Also, when i start off 1st gear my rear end vibrates like crazy until 2500 rpm. then when i shift to 2nd does same thing and goes away. what can it be? I already got subframe spacers so its not my subframe. Help me out guys. Thanks
