Default shift **** buzzes

when really gunning it, near redline, when i shift from 1st to 2nd, i feel a short but kind of strong vibration in the shiftknob which makes a buzzing sound which isnt too loud. I'm paranoid that it could be something wrong with the synchro, but it every other gear shifts perfectly fine at and 1st to 2nd is normal to me during normal driving. It's hard to explain really what it is, but i feel like it isnt the gears grinding or anything. I'm trying to figure out what it is becuase it's a concern of mine

worn synchro sounds like it. especially at the higher RPMS, or maybe your clutch isnt fully disengaging, and the 1-2 shift is the most used shift.

yea but the buzzing is coming directly from the shiftknob, and isnt loud enough to sound like gears grinding. Im not quite sure what grinding gears are supposed to sound like though. I've only been driving stick for 2 months so maybe that's the problem?? ( i drive like an expert at normal speeds though hehe)

Shifter bushing is cheap and easy to replace.
