i am feeling vibration in stickshift?????

On my way home from work to today i noticed a vibration after speeding up and then letting off, I can really feel it in the stick shift... it seem to be not as bad when the hub are unlocked, but still slightly vibrates , any ideas ???

U-joints. Check and grease, see if it goes away or at least seems to quit vibrating as bad. If so, the grease may be a temporary fix, but more likely than not the u-joints are on their way to that big scrap yard in the sky.

isolate the vibration... put it up on jackstands and run the truck... If it starts vibrating you know it's a driveline problem. Then disconnect the driveshaft and inspect the u-joints if they don't look terrible, run the truck back up to 30-50 mph on the jack stands again and see if vibration persists. If it does you have a clutch/tranny problem. If it doesn't persist you have a drive line proble behind the tranny somewhere.
