Re: 3-speed gear shift handle vibration

Yes, vibration dampers can fail, but given the limited information available about the nature of the problem, the vibration damper would be way down towards the bottom of a list, and transmission synchros wouldn't be on the list at all. Though perhaps a bit too obvious, have you considered an intermittent engine miss such as you might get from failing high tension plug wires, worn or incorrectly gapped spark plugs, etc.? Motor and transmission mounts also warrant examination.

You say it happens "primarily" in 2nd gear - I guess this means it can also happen in 1st or 3rd? If so, does it correlate to engine speed or road speed? Or neither?
