Suspected Transmission Vibration from a I have no idea member

Third post for the the day,
SJ 413 1997 I have done 3000 km in it, however prior to this about it had only been used for about 1500KM in 3 years or more. it has always had since I purchased it vibration around 2400 rpm & at other RPM's. I am unsure if it is gearbox or engine. It did have the prop shafts dropped and I suspect UJs replaced prior to my purchase, but the mechanic, will not give any clear details mainly due to language barrier.
Any top tips? Or a suggested course of actioin to start the "fault finding"
Thanks
David

Could be UJs, gearbox/engine/transfer box mounts.
Is it in different in certain gears?
Is it a steering vibration? Could be wheel bearings?
More details required please.

Hi Jordi,
Thanks you for your response. the most vibration is in 2nd / third gear around 2400 RPM. I am about to have the wheels rebalanced as when 4 up at 100kmh , wheel wobble comes in and I will revert to you after. I have also posted another under the Engine management light issue which again, and FYI I have no idea however the vehicle runs different with the light on, in actual fact smoother!
Thanks B in touch

Hi, Iβm new to the forum
β¦ I have a 2020 swift sz5 auto with an intermittent vibration at certain speeds . The tyres were worn irregularly and changing them /balancing them reduced the vibration by 90%. The car came with irregularly worn rear tyres : older swifts had rear axle issues so Iβm getting the measurements checked- the third engine mount is quite soft too and people do upgrade them - wheel bearings , U joints , etc to be inspected but Iβm also replacing the locking wheel nuts as there have been cases where just the sheer weight of them causes vibrations etc- of course checking bearings, driveshaft , u joints , transmission bearings , balancing etc should be done first
Will keep you all posted on my outcome, hoping itβs a simple fix !
