in the things that rotate category you have axle shafts, wheel bearings, brake rotor/pads to go with engine/tranny mounts as well as accessories (AC/power steering/altnerator etc). There are also things that can vibrate (exhaust etc) because of engine speed. Do you get a sound with the vibration? where do you feel or sense the vibration (ie steering wheel, center console, seat/door sills?). Other than the upshift clue, does it seem to come from a location (left or right), change with roadspeed or turning/braking?

Could be torque converter shudder (squirt in a tube of LubeGard Instant Shudder Fixx (sic)). Probably not, but hey - for $7 and two minutes, it's seriously low-hanging fruit.

I'm also thinking engine / transmission mounts - you're going to feel the 1-2 shift more than the higher shifts (since there's more mechanical advantage trying to torque the engine around). Could have gotten a bad one, or maybe one wasn't tightened properly (not that a professional mechanic EVER misses anything). ;-)
