Shift lever shakes while in reverse! 200 1990

Good day all,

My friend is taking a look yet another problem (challenge)with my car this morning, yet about a week ago, a new symptom developed. Only while I back up in reverse, does my car do this. The shift lever shakes and I hear a clunking sound. The faster I go in reverse, the worse it sounds. It doesn't sound good. I'm wondering if this is a serious problem?

I can't stand the thought of junking my car and I'm not mechanically inclined enough to sell individual parts. I'm in the market for a new car,so I've been trying to fix it up to sell it or to donate it. It needs a good home-the engine and body on it are in great shape. I'm so frustrated that there's this new obstacle to get through. Any ideas what's causing this?

I don't think it's related to my other problem...the part that connects the rear brake calliper to the rear axle is cracked in two (maybe from hitting a curb?). This led to rapid wear of the rear passenger side brake pads and rotor. My friend is going to look at it to see if he can weld the casted part. He's a pretty good welder. I haven't had any luck finding a used rear axle to replace mine, so that is why I'm considering welding the part.

Thanks in advance, for any advice you can give.
