Default vibration

I am getting a vibration that resonates through the car at idle and low rpm. It disappears as soon as you increase rpm above idle/slow speed. It stays gone until rpms come down to that range again and is in a very narrow range of rpm. No noises just the sound from the vibration itself. Any suggestions on where to start looking?

Is it manual or automatic? Could be a host of things from flywheel, clutch/pressure plate, harmonic balancer (damper), just to name a few. I had a similar issue years ago with a manual trans, turned out to be the flywheel in my case.
