through the stick can be input bearing failure, mainshaft is moving and can be pushed against the selector shaft would do it all gears and idling, linkage could account for variations in feel. What's g and reverse like.
Vibes can well be mounts too, nearside engine mount particularly but both seem to have a finite life, gearbox mounts seem pretty longlived if correctly assembled and all there, again the linkage could be amplifying, seat vibe/chassis vibe says more engine than box perhaps ?
