Default front/shifter vibes on accel and moves to the back on decel

This is most noticeable in 3rd and worse in 5th, somewhat noticeable in 2nd and 6th. Never felt it in 4th.

light-moderate accel around 2500-3500 I get vibes in the shifter and at my feet/steering wheel. Heavy/WOT I don't notice any vibes

When I let off the gas completely, the vibration moves to the back of the car.

If I just rest my foot on the gas pedal, the vibration stops. It also stops if I push the clutch in.

What do you think..>?? Pilot bushing is bronze, could that be failing? I have about 30,000 miles on clutch, trans, etc.

I'd start with the tranny mount, and/or the torque arm mount. If you haven't replaced them in the last year, they are suspect.

I don't have much shifter movement, but I will toss in a new one anyway.

New trans mount didn't help. The fact that all vibes cease when you balance the drivetrain load with the gas pedal should be a good clue for someone , I guess it's time to inspect the drive shaft.
