Default Vibration after new clutch

Hello there, here is my problem. I have a 1991 240 5 speed standars. I just put in a new clutch, everything works fine, all the gears go in with no problems and the clutch feels great: but I have noticed a vibration on my gear lever.
It shakes pretty bad when starting the car in first gear, as soon as i put it in second the vibration gets better, but it still vibrates.
It think it,s something related do tge driveshaft: I didn't take down the all think when I did the clutch, just the part that attaches to the gear box.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe you didn't line the driveshaft up correctly.

You should have made marks before removing it.

You can still align it even if you didn't mark it when you took it off. You need to align the yokes on the front and rear shafts. The Haynes manual has a nice diagram on how to do this.

This leaves a potential 180 error in the alignment. If your drive shaft is not too rusty, you can find paint marks (white dots) that can tell you how to align them. If not, try it, if it still vibrates, rotate it by 180 and try it again.

also, look to see about the condition of the transmission bushing.
