Default accelerator vibration

Hi guys

I have noticed that my accelerator pedal does vibrate slightly, and at a high frequency. Is this a common problem? or what could be the problem. It is very annoying and happens most of the time. Also the gear *** does have a sharp vibration when you rest your hand on it, does any one have this problem? I have a GS300 with only 102,000kms (about 62,000miles) on the clock so it should be in good condition for its age.
I've searched and couldnt find anything similar to this so if anyone could help me.

Thanks

seems to me like either a motor or tranny mount. definitely not an easy or cheap fix, definitely something to have looked at by a professional.

IMO it's probably the axle dampeners, either front, rear, or both. Not an extremely expensive fix, somewhere around $500 including parts.
