Weird vibration in 5th gear

I have an 87 gxl and when I shift into 5th I get a vibration. It's a constant vibration in that it happens everytime I shift into 5th, but it's kind of a gyrating vibration. Does anyone know what this could be?

Replaced the drive shaft about a month ago. I notice it more at high speeds. I don't know when the last alignment was done. I just got the car 1 1/2 months ago. I'll try that tho
