Gear stick vibrates? Could be engine mountings but I'd suspect the wheels like teamy said. I had some really crap tyres at one time and no amount of balancing would fix that. The only remedy was new tyres

Yes that's true but to be honest mine was so bad the whole car vibrated! There was a weight missing off one of the front wheels and the rears were pretty bad too.
I'd also get your tracking checked for good measure if it's been running with unbalanced wheels; something may have moved slightly.
