99% of the time, vibration issues on geared cars are driveshaft problem.

however, since it sat for two years, try swapping the front tires to the rear, and the rears to the front. If that changes the nature of the vibration, there is your issue.

I'd also try as he suggested, try moving your driveshaft to different notches, and see if that helps.

however, sounds like the doctor just ordered an expensive alum driveshaft.

my friend just complained to me about this for a week , saying his tranny was vibrating , few days ago he called me and said his engine was knocking , come to find out , his balancer had slipped on the engine and it wiped every bearing out of the bottom end of the engine , he got a 10/10 crank kit from local parts store and a new balancer , the old one had slipped 30 degrees , car is back up and running with 230K miles on it now ......
