My money is on the balance shaft belt. You can really feel it thru the shifter, if one didn't know better they would think it was a trans issue.

Transmission? you mean the gearbox in the back? Sorry for the stupid question, UK you see 
I had a shuddering gearbox that knocked around sharp corners, start up on a bank and when reversing. The machanic located it to a totally shot gearbox mount. It was like a spong, the rubber totally disintigrated and was swinging aound. Since i changed it the car is really smooth and vibration free. Have your machanic check it to see if it moves around.
Hope this helps
