Hey
Ok got a problem with my car shaking as i climb up in revs in each gear. As you pull away it gradually gets worse and worse and as you go through the gears this is the same. Im pretty sure its something after the clutch, as when you dip the clutch and rev its fine!!! The gear stick goes mental shaking back and forth aswell as the front of the car. I have recently had a gearbox change. Although it has been changed this does not rule out that its not the problem. Maybe this could be a mount or something? Driveshaft related? If anyone has any ideas on what his could be or have experienced anything like this then please reply.
Cheers

I would put money on it been one of the mounts. One of mine had snapped and it was making the car shake and vibrate like mad. I replaced it and its now as smooth as a babys bum :)
My broken one was the one under the ECU in the engine bay on the drivers side. However as your is only really effected in gear it could be one of the gearbox ones. there is one under the battery tray and the other is under the gearbox. check these out as they are 99% going to be your problem

dose the steering wheal shake as well if so it could just be that your tiers need tracking or some wheel weights have fallen off.

sure if you try wheelspin and the front bounces like mad it indicates driveshaft. could be wrong tho
