Karl, those symptoms describe what my GoldBrick (86 Syncro passenger
Vanagon) experienced. In my case I paid and replaced the entire drive
shaft (both U joints were frozen). The vibration went completely away...

Of course about a month later I lost the rear transmission (total lock
up) and replaced it too...

(The GoldBrick isn't named just for its color...)
