This is a tough one. If it was a bad u-joint it would increase with the speed of the car not the engine. It could be anyplace in the drive train. From bad motor or tranny mounts to a bad bearing in the wheels or the differential. I would first check the u joints for tightness and also check the bolts on the yoke to the input shaft on the differential. Jack it up and rotate the wheels to check for bearing roughness. you can check for a bad motor mount by opening the hood and watching the engine. You set the brake and put it it drive or reverse and if the engine raises up under power you have a bad mount.

Have you checked the transmission fluid level?
