Exclamation Help?? Bad Vibrations

My car has a horrible vibration and i think it is comming from my tranny. When at 65mph and keeping it at that speed it vibrates and when i let off the gas it stops. Then when i keep at that speed and push the clutch pedal in it still does it and when i coast in nutural it still does it until i put it back in gear. This just started to happen. It will do this at any speed but happens worse at higher speeds. Also when i take off, and when i just let the clutch out and give it some gas it makes a click sound. Guys please help bc i just got this car and would like to keep it but if i can't figure it out i will probably sell it.

check the make sure your driveshaft bolts are torqued down

sounds like they are loose

that will cause a clak sound in certain situations as well as a bad vibration as long as the car is moving, in gear or not.

if a problem this simple discourages you, get ready for a long and hard road ahead.
