Shifter vibration @4,000 and up

No matter what gear I'm in or what speed, as soon as I hit 4k ish RPM, the shifter starts to pulsate. At 5k you can feel it in the back seat, it's in the whole car. The shifter vibrates in steady waves.

Tranny problem, right? What could be wrong?

EDIT: Also, whenever I suddenly floor it, it jumps forward a split second, than stops accelerating for another split second and than seems to grab and go. Sort of like the clutch is bouncing off the engine. I had the clutch checked though, and they told me it was fine.
