Bad vibration with noticable knocking in the transmission/shifter

So I went on a looooong road trip today and hit a huge road stop. Long story short, I'd been driving about 16 hours over a 2 day period and hit this road stop (mudslide closed the road). I drive a 2004 6 speed with 49,000k on it. I've never had a major problem with the car and it's been great so far.

Anyways,
Me and my buddy get out of the car to chill out when he says "that's a sweet knocking sound" sarcastically of course. I listen, and hear it too. The past few weeks I've noticed pretty bad rattling/vibrations in the shifter, especially when idling. Upon watching it for a few minutes I noticed the knocking occurs whenever the shifter rattles fairly violently. This seems to happen intermittently every 10 seconds or so.

Anyone have any idea what's up? Thanks in advance for the responses

Have the engine mounts checked. Say to the dealer that you have a bad vibration duing idleing. They should cover the repair under warranty.
