Default Shakes while backing up

Hello guys & gals,
i have a problem that I’m hoping you can help me solve. I have an 02 Camaro SS, 6 spd. Had to replace worn out clutch, did that with no issues. After about 2000 miles of driving, I broke my transmission mount, replaced that, then after 1 pass at the drag strip, noticed a bad vibration when backing up. Was told that engine mounts are bad. Replaced them, which they were bad, used Energy Suspension mounts. Still vibrates. Replaced the torque arm mount, same energy suspension brand. Still vibrates, actually almost shakes only when baking up. Car drives smooth, no vibration at all, actually drives much better going down the road. I replaced the Transmission mount with an original replacement one because I was on the road, should this be replaced with an energy suspension one ? I’m at a loss, please help 🤨

Possibly an issue with the gear in the rear not meshing smoothly. The m6 at a dragstrip is murder on the stock rear.
