I have a shake which is really noticable, when you rev the car past 6 thousand revs there is a shake which is mainly heard from the gear stick shacking, it is conderning enought that i change when i hear the noise coming on.
I dont think it is related to the tailshaft as when i put my foot on the clutch the noise stops.
Any ideas guys?

when was the last time you had your flywheel off?? id say theres some loose bolts on it , or worse theyve started to shear.
if its not the mounts thats the next best place to start looking

well.. depends what you mean by "half gone" if it's got a crack in one of the rubber holders that's enough to cause the engine to shift around more

just another thought it is a supra g/box in a ta22 what if the tunnel isnt wide enought and when it revs to a certain point (twists) it hits the tunnel wall and i get vibrations.

there is also a noise if you put your foot on the accelerator quickly, it makes a knokcing noise which you can feel comeing threw the floor pan.

Is there plenty of clearance between the gear shift and the tranmission tunnel ?

A misaligned tailshaft will do that. Is the gearbox mounted at the correct height?
