Help please!!! Massive vibration under accel!

Hi all! Any ideas on solving this prob would be much appreciated!

Took the FD out for a blat the other night and now there is a massive vibration under accelleration... similar to having a Tranny Brace installed. Can feel it right up through the seats and all!

Absolutely stumped as to what it could be... car was running perfectly over Xmas break and i didn't drive it hard at all so i can't see how i've forcefully broken something.

Shifter isn't sloppy at all so i can't imagine it being a busted PPF. Engine mounts are all good. Could it be diff mounts? LOOSE ppf bolts? Unbalanced diriveshaft?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :o)

Sounds like it could be a cracked PPF. Get under there and poke around a bit

My experience with the driveshaft was at a certain speed, did not matter if it was under load or not. Not sure if that would be your problem. I would check the ppf and the rear end.
