Car tries to stall when reversing? - 1.2 Dynamique

[M90SR]

Basically the problem is simple.

> Select reverse
> Lift clutch ever so slighty
> Car and engine violently shakes like its going to stall (revs hardly drop at all),
> Then once you are going quicker than say 2mph it will be fine and reverse like normal.


NOTE:
> There is no EML nor does revving the car while lifting the clutch stop the problem.
> THE CAR DOES NOT DO IT WHEN JACKED UP AND PUT INTO GEAR! I noticed...
> The engine mounts have been changed (including dog bone)

I understand that the problem could be anything but any ideas on where to start looking to diagnose?
