doesn't look good for you. since those mount housings probably never break under normal circumstances, I'm betting the dealer won't even have them in stock on their shelves, probably a few days to order them or something like that. All I can think of is that when your clutch engages, maybe it's moving/rocking the transmission too much, causing an inbalance in the drive shaft and axles at speeds over 20 mph. What happens if you are coasting (with the clutch pushed in) at 20 mph, does it still shake? You definitely need to replace those.

i start accelerating, shift fine into 2nd. then when i hit ~20mph there is a violent jerking, when i let off the gas, it stops shaking, but if i dont engage the clutch when its starts going under 10mph, it starts shaking again, tho not as rough.

do you think jb weld will hold until i can order a new one? or do you think i could weld the little pieces that cracked off, back on?

I can't tell from the picks, but I wouldn't JB Weld that. I guess you could get it welded by someone who welds cast aluminum, but you'd have to get it really clean with some kind of acid or at least simple green, bc any impurities present will make the weld weak.
