I had a similar problem on a clio I 96, The problem was the engine base, it got warn out thanks to all the road bumps and had to be replaced. now I have a smooth silent ride :)

My problem was: shakes in D while not moving (waiting at a light), The gas pedal was shaking while driving, the engine was shaking and had strange sounds ...

I hope this helps
