Default t56 vibration?

I have a lt1 with a t56 and have been chasing a vibration for a long while now. I thought it was a rear end issue but I started pulling wheels axles and such off and the vibration remained and got worse. It is a nine inch but anyway I pulled the driveshaft and put a yoke in the tranny to try that and the vibration was still there. The vibration goes away when I push the clutch in so I swapped the tranny with another one I had and vibration got softer but still remains starts at about 65 and progressively worse all the way up any gear.
ANY IDEAS?

Where do you feel the vibration at and does it go away when you push the clutch in or remain until it slows down?

I am a complete noob, but if its speed related. That rules out drivetrain(because the rear would be constant and trans/engine would be different speeds maybe showing up at the same spot in each gear) except for rear end with axels and such, I know little about rears but I understand that if a rotating part isn't balanced or straight/true its going tell you. The only other places that would matter would be wheel/tire balance, or wheel bearing but the wheel bearing would make a constant sound.
