They do "All do it Sir" to an extent, but as yours did not vibrate before then something has changed.
Could be the transfer box or gearbox mounts are tighter/ slacker
The engine could be lined up differently
Transfer box could be further forwards/backwards or lined up differently, changing the angle of the rear propshaft
Damper springs in the clutch plate could be different/loose this is the most likely reason I suspect. (What clutch was fitted?)

The differential damper is fitted to the diesel variant, which was never officially sold in this country, so at new Suzuki prices would be around £300 at a guess. You can try wandering round a scrapyard to find something that you can bolt to the holes on the diff nose, but I've no idea which cars fit a suitable one.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

The fact that it does it at the same rpm in each gear suggests that the problem lies forward of the gearbox or with the gearbox itself, as the rotation speed of all parts after the gearbox is matched to road speed, not engine speed.

Was the gearbox rebuild and new clutch a 'professional' job or DIY? Has it been like this ever since the work was done or was it ok to start with?

It was done through a local garage who have done all of my work for a number of years. The vibration was definitely not there before the clutch and gearbox was done. I think you have a point as it is not there in 1st or 2nd at all. I will have to check what clutch he fitted but he is away until Wednesday. I rang a local propshaft balancing company and they suspected uv joint or prop out of balance. I will wait until next week and see what the garage proposes. Thank you for all of your help, it is much appreciated I will keep you informed of my progress. :(

I'd be very surprised if its a prop. or UJ to be honest. They would cause vibration at a certain road speed, regardless of what gear you are in.

Did the garage drop the prop shaft in the pit when they were changing the clutch. A mate of mine built a special with shortened prop shaft some years ago and had to have it balanced to get rid of the vibration.

Damn, I am having the same problem here 😬.
From third to fifth gear....extreme vibrations. Also after clutch change 🙁
Anyone....any conclusion?
