Car Shaking Gear Lever Wobbling When Accelerating

[tagy 1]

while driving my 205 gti-6 when accelerating suddenly the whole car started to shake badly seemed to be coming from the front of the car.

 

from then on when applying a small amount of power the gear stick shook wildly, and applying alot of power again the whole car shakes.

 

I got home slowly and have had a look expecting the gearbox to be falling off, but I cannot see anything loose (engine mounts, subframe bolts, etc..)

 

any ideas what has gone wrong? once it had cooled down I tried driving it again, it was maybe not as bad but still clearly wrong. Driving slowly in 1st gear I can feel the gear stick pulsing in my hand.

 

help..

 

same week as the headgasket went in my other 205!!

o/s drive shaft , had them before

 

the pulsing is the engine moving side to side

Yeah this happened to me at the ring turned out all the needles had fallen out of the inner CV joint. Was fun driving home with that!
