Default What would cause a car to shake in reverse?

Just fitted a new clutch kit and bolted it all back up. Pulls like a train when moving forward but feels like an earthquake is occuring when in reverse

What would cause reverse to shake so violently?

an earthquake whilst reversing?

reversing over the remains of a demolished building?

reversing over a herd of stampeding wildebeest?
