Checked fasteners and mounts today.

I didn't notice any noise, just quite a bit of vibration in 4th during accel or cruise.

No vibration at all in neutral or with the clutch engaged. No vibration during decel. Very slight vibration in the other gears that seems normal.

If the driveshaft was not straight or out of balance, I would expect to feel that in all gears.

The car is an ERA, so I would not expect driveline angel issues.

Is vibration in the shifter normal?

when I installed my TKO600 I had to enlarge the hole for the shifter in the transmission tunnel, because the shifter was touching it and transmitting vibrations. Maybe you should check that this is not your case also.
