Just wondering, The car seems to vibrate a little bit around 1500 rpm's.

Steering wheel & shifter slightly vibrate.

If you break a valvespring, the car will most likely act like its running on 7 cylinders.

Do you get it at 1500 in all gears, or just top gear?

When your valve spring goes you defiantly notice something wrong with your car. It runs like crap, vibrates like hell, the valvetrain noise is enough to curl your hair, and the power sucks.

If it is just a slight vibration at 1500 rpm you may want to check your rotating assembly all the way to the back.
