check your motor mounts and tranny mounts. The 5th gear is a really tall gear on any mustang and really makes the engine work harder to move the car.

is it only at a certain mph? what happens if you stay the same speed that 2500rpm's in 5th is and go into 4th, does it go away? if you coast in neutral is it gone? if its only in 5th gear and goes away if in 4th or neutral, i would guess either a bad motor or trans mount, or something w/ the trans. make sure all your mount bolts are tight, also, make sure your exhaust isnt hitting anything, i ve seen that and you would swear its a vibration

but i would think you would feel the pinion prob in other gears, because its always spinning the same speed, if your going 55mph, it doesnt matter if your in 5th, 4th, neutral, its still spinning for 55mph

Check your tires for bumps or balance. They have a tendency to vibrate your car at a certain speed...which for you seems like 5th at 2500

Some new shocks and a good burnout will fix that problem
