I believe the cause of this is called "Gear Rollover" which causes the vibrations that you are experiencing. Generally an inherant design flaw. This is part oof the reason that the OEM ford shift handles are mounted with rubber grommets attaching them to the shifter control mechanism. Somtimes it can be influenced with different lubricants.
