Default Help needed badly

Recently started getting a vibration in my first gear. It only starts when I pass 2000 rpm and stops if I shift into second gear. I have a 92 cherokee 2dr sport 5 speed. Could it be the transmission mounts? Or could it be the clutch because the clutch only works when it is almost completely back to original position. All advice is helpful. This is a new problem but I don't know what to do and money is tight. Please help

If just in first, the likely culprit is your transmission. If the vibration happens at a certain RPM regardless of gear then it's probably clutch chatter and is probably due to it being worn. I'm not very familiar with the AX-15/5 (which one depends on what engine you have... you didn't say) or hydraulic clutches. Someone who knows more than me will offer advice.

Oh. Tell us about this noise. You mentioned a vibration in your first post. Now, I understand that a byproduct of noise is vibration and a byproduct of vibration is noise but most folks, being not as smart as you and I, don't think that way. Most consider a vibration something you feel and a noise something you hear.

Sounds kinda like it comes straight from the driveshaft or more towards the rear. But I get the vibration when I reach a significant speed

Okay I can try to do that. It's just that literally only happens sometimes so I don't always get to hear it and I found that videos are hard to make when you are shifting gears

I believe you need Dana Spicer 1310s. They're about $15-$20 each.
