Hello folks

I own a w124 230CE which has a big problem when i try to accelerate. Sometimes at high speeds, sometimes at low speeds. It most oftenly happens at low revs. When i try to accelerate, the car starts to vibrate. It kind of feels like the transmission gears are not engaging, och that sometning isnt right in the engine. Also the idle is pretty bad, i think its a little low

I have no idea about what the problem might be, it happens both when the engine is frequently used and when it has been sitting for a while so the oil and fluids are not the problem but maybe lack of them. Some work has been done to the back axle, so it could possibly be something we did wrong with the cardan shaft? I am new to the carworld, this is my first car.
