When ever i accelerate in any gear the car vibrates a lot, i thought it might have a buckled wheel but when i put the clutch in it stops. When the car starts vibrating the gear stick also shacks very violently.

any idea what may be causing it?

any help appreciated

Got my car up on some jacks and had a look under

Think i found the source of my problems a completely buggered mount on the back of the gear box.
