Anyone experience vibration under hard Accel?
It's not a huge deal I can live with it, I just wondered what it is? for example. when i'm coming onto the high off a onramp and floor or near floor it in 4th from about 90km.h to 140km/h it has a pretty noticeable vibration or shudder until I shift into 5th and let go the gas it dissappears.

Sometimes the disc and PP can get glazed from previous slippage. All it takes is a little chatter from loss of friction to cause what you describe. At the very least check/adjust your pedal freeplay. Glazing will disappear with use, a failing clutch won't. You feel it in 5th the most because the gearing is so high.

It probably is cv joints. they get wear patterns in them and when you accellerate hard the car squats and they run in and out of the grooves. One way to find out is take them out and swap them making sure to keep the outside out. I think they are the same on both ends but doing it this way will ensure proper reinstallation.

If i'm going to do that i might as well replace them?? It's quite extensive to remove the cv joints ins't it? you have to remove the entire rear spindle? also cv joints are 600$ a piece new lol

and for the clutch glazing, is there any liquid etc I can spray, pour onto the clutch to deglaze it? Also I know my motor mounts are for sure shot. but it's somthing drive/suspension related to make this kinda of vibration.

No, the axles just bolt in to the hub on the transmission and the spindles. You acn buy new joint kits for $100 each (need 4) or rebuilt axles for 180each.

No, but the clutch is fully engaged on hard acceleration so it would not be the cause.
