Unhappy I'm picking up good vibrations...NOT

Ok I need some suggestions for when I can dive into it. Back in June we removed and replaced my engine after having it fixed don't ya know. Put on a new flywheel..after having it balanced to the old one..new clutch etc..etc.... Been taking it easy for a few hundred miles...drives good...runs good. I have a little vibration through the shifter which does not seem to be any different from my old set up. I can rev to 5000+ rpms without any noticeable difference. Out on the road going through the gears everything seems ok...no more vibration than Iwoud expect from a stroked side oiler...........BUT now it's broken in and naturally I want to see if it will RUN! When I really put my FOOT into it from 2nd gear...by the time I hit 5000+ rpms the shifter is almost vibrating out of my hand....same with 3rd....and I'm not ready to hold in 4th to 5000+ to find out if it's still there. We did have the drive shaft out and not sure if we put it back exactly in the same location it came out of but that's about it. If I drive normally through the gears at normal speeds everything seems fine. It's just when you want to go to warp speed that it takes on a different attitude...........BUT it will run..yippeee!! Any suggestions?
