This is a classic symptom of the driveshaft being out of balance.  The 
out of balance can be caused by the driveshaft not being aligned 
perfectly, it can be caused by a balancing weight that fell off, or it 
somehow got slightly bent.

Getting a driveshaft balanced is not that expensive, especially since you 
already have it off the car.
