Yeah, I have the same and I too wander what it may be. I did have a bad mount, I did change it but did not help. The ones I changed were at the back not the one at the transmission. I get away with it if I don't slip the clutch for too long and let it up as soon as possible with the least rev. My wife can not handle it that well. Sure, it would be nice to know what makes it happen.
