motor shakes during acceleration

the shaking seems to match the axel speed and it happens when there is a load on it.

I had this problem or one very similiar to yours. Turned out that I had one or two (can't remember) bad cv joints. The joints were so worn out they caused the motor to shake as well as and uncomfortable shake in the cabin. If yours are about due to be replaced go ahed and do both regardless. Night and day difference for me. Hope this helps.

I vote front axles/cv joints. It seems I have read more about bad motor mounts causing hard shifting from R to D, and it would also seem that a bad motor mount would shudder while revving in P. OP only mentions shuddering while under load. And, I have had the same symptom in other cars, and it was the axles. Just my
