Have you looked at the engine mounts. If they are bad then the engine will shift around and vibrate.

tough one. hard to diagnose something like that online. it doesn't sound much like a motor mount. can't rule it out though. one thing that could help you identify it better, but not always would be to pop the hood. have someone else sit in the car so you can see for yourself. have them put it in gear, and then reverse, and see if there is a lot of movement. these motors are powerhouses so a little bit of movement might not identify the problem well.
