This is a clue. It appears the vibration may be engine, flywheel or clutch related since the above statement indicates it occurs both at shift points and above 45mph in third (which would be another shift point if there was another gear). This would likely rule out anything to the rear of the clutch.

Even if it is weeks or months down the road, please update your post with the solution you found.

Curious here 47jailbar if you ever figured out the source of the vibration? Always like to know just in case it happens to me again down the road. Thank you!
