Hello,

There are over a dozen parts on a 1800 shift handle for the 1961-1969 models.

Some of which, when loose or worn can cause vibrations.

So you need to do a thorough inspection of the components.

FYI, when you attempt to access the shifter mounting bolts, be aware that there is a drain hose under the heater box that can be damaged when you try to move the carpeting that covers the transmission tunnel.

Unfortunately, Volvo did not put a slot in the carpeting so that the carpeting could be slid past the hose, but a hole.
