Default shaking problem

i have a 96 auto V6 and whenever i stay low on the throttle up through the gears i get a horrible shaking coming from the back end as it shifts. When i get on the gas and go through the gears it doesnt seem to do this. Can someone tell me whats causing this?

Driveshaft could be the problem, control arms could be the problem. Your transmission not kicking down when it needs to could be the problem.....

by rear end going out do you mean gears (please say its the gears), or the whole rear.

Well usually when the gears go bad you will get a grinding and whining noise.

I didnt think it was the driveshaft because usually if you have a bad ujoint then when you hit the gas it makes one bump and then its pretty steady from there, but if the whole drive shaft is bent then it will definetly shake. Im assuming the bushing on the control arms could be bad... and the tranny not kicking down usually wont make a bad shaking, it just wont upshift at the right time. But I could be wrong.

i wouldve never put control arms in the mix when the grinding is only during shifting, thanks for the opinion. I would really like some other opinions though if anyone else has them. Thanks
