Answer
Hi Vito, The first thing you need to do is inspect the engine motor mounts and the transmission mount. It sound to me like one has gone bad causing this vibration. The engine needs to beable to move and if one of the mounts is bad it will be almost like metal to metal.

 Also check the clutch fan to make sure it spins freely. I have seen these go bad and get way out of balance, this could also cause a vibration.

Let me know what you find

Have a Nice Day    Mark
