It could be a few things, but I think your driveshaft is either unbalanced, or the u-joints are starting to fail

Replace your u-joints. Mine would do the same thing when I would go in and out of the driveway. I thoigh my tranny was gonna drop or something but I put it on stands and my u-joints were just worn out.
