Don is right. The vibration does not get worse as the RPM goes up. It appears at specific points. Another key thing to look at is the transmission tailshaft mount. If that is going and you are starting to touch metal to metal, any tiny vibration will be amplified greatly and appear much worse that normal. If that mount is going, that could explain why a balanced engine is now becoming "unbalanced"
