Shutter when engaging clutch

Hey my car has developed a shutter when engaging the clutch. It almost feel like wheel hop, obviously the rear tire aren't spinning. It mostly happens when the car is cold. There is also clunking noise coming from the rear of the car from time to time. The drive train bucks allot below 2k. Any ideas?

Broken diff mounts or even perhaps the bushings in the diff. In regards to your clunking sounds... it could be your rear wheels are buckled because mines on stands due to this and I assumed it was the diff or suspension straight away, and the same thing happened to mine as you described although my clunking happened alot.

Yes I cant see anything out of order.

I broken a rear end mount before it was way more noticeable, might not be as bad before. I just don't get why it happens more or less only on cold starts. After that it pretty much goes away. I just need to get it to a shop.

Rear wheels are buckled could you expand on this that a term I'm not familiar with.
