Gear stick shaking violently

Today while accelerating in 2nd gear i noticed that the gear stick was shaking rather violently, and got worse as the rpm went up, im guessing i just need new tranny mounts, or could it be something more serious.
Another thing, i am starting to notice that it is now physically harder to get the gear stick out of gear when changing gear, it feels assif it sticks in gear, i always fully depress the clutch. It may just be my tranny oil as i just put the factory oil in, but Plz dont tell me to change the tranny oil ive done it 5 times in the last 6 months, does anyone know whats causing this?

Check the engine mounts, also. If one or both rubber sections have gone bad, it'll result in more engine/transmission movement.

How do i check the engine/tranny mounts? Im not sure where they are, im sure if i could get the car on a hoist i could find them but i dont have access to a hoist atm, can i see them by just looking from the top of the engine bay?
