Default HELP! Is my trans dead or is something else messed up?!

Ok, this JUST started happening today.
Every time i go to a higher gear, only on the up shift, the car studders what feels like a miss, but the stick shift shakes left to right pretty violently. It never used to do this until today. I thought it was the trans mount, but I haven't heard any banging underneath. Even if i go from first to second, the car shudders back and forth, after a few seconds it seems to stop once in gear, but then I hit third and it'll do it again, and when I hit 6th, it does it pretty bad. This is all under normal driving, not even WOT. When I go from 1 to 2 under WOT the car does not feel right, I have no clue as to what is going on!?!?! There are no codes, and nothing is ticking, squeeking, banging, just the shifter/engine/trans is shaking violently in lower rpm's in every gear from left to right several times.

What could this be?!

thanks
