Vibrations in 4th and 5th gear ???

Lately I have been driving really easy to save fuel and what not. I have noticed that when I accelerate slowly there is alot of vibrations in 4th and 5th gear around the 1200-1400 rpm range. I can roll along at 1100 rpm with no problem and 1500 or more with no problem but anywhere in between and the gearshift is about to shake out of my hands. If I take off really hard and get into it, it doesnt do it, it just goes like normal. Some people I asked told me it might be clutch related, but it doesnt slip and works fine so I dont think its that. I'm still in college right now and funds are tight for the next month until summer break when I can work more, should I keep driving it or is something really wrong, also it seems to have gotten worse over the last week? I have crawled around underneath and nothing looks out of the ordinary, all the bolts seem to be tight. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank You

Everything on the outside appears ok, I'm afraid its internal. It didnt used to do this and its got worse over the last month or so.
