Default Wifes 206 advice needed

Needing a little advice if possible.
Wife has an 02 206 for all her sins, Over the last couple of weeks the gearstick seems to be shaking more and more when accelerating and under braking, Had it in to get wheels alligned,With no joy seems to betting worse.
My next job was going to be to replace the driveshafts as it just seems to be trial and error at the moment to find the problem.
Anyone else got any ideas of what it could be?? Was maybe thinking engine mount?
Help would be apreciated folks as i need to get it fixed before it gets put up for sale
Thanks in advance
Neil

possibly a gearbox mount or even engine mount mate, does it only do it when driving or does it do it sat still at idle also?

Broken engine/gearbox mount, not uncommon on the 206s! Saw one recently that was in this state for a while, and it managed to rip out a couple of earth straps too as the engine was all over the place, so I'd get it looked at sooner reather than later!

Only when driving as far as she has told me, Im offshore at the moment but just wanted to get all the parts etc there for when i get back.
Didnt want to fork out for driveshafts if its a good chance its something else.....

My 306 was the same and the Gearbox mount had split, Easy enough job, Battery out and will take you 20 mins max.
