it seems i had subframe bolt that was loose, which was causing the whole car to shake, better but still not as before , where yours from GSF too?

also check the gearbox mount bracket. the two bracket bolts that go onto the gearbox end of the bracket are usually put in back to front and then rub against the chassis
