My 2001 volvo s40 shakes when I accelerate past 30 mph

The shaking only happens when I am accelerating past 30 mph, but when I reach a desired speed and stay that speed, the shaking stops. The shaking also stops when I let off the gas. Does anyone know what the problem be, and if so, what might it cost to fix at a local shop (so I don't get ripped off!)
Thanks everyone!!!!

It could be a motor mount check the condition of it or it can be that something with the suspension might need attention . . those things can cause vibration at certain speeds

Do a test with tranny in drive instead of OD/over-drive, does the problem go away? If so I think it is an OD issue.
Check motor mounts and suspension. In the past, I've seen bad shocks cause a noticeable vibration at a certain speed. Below or above that certain speed, no vibration.
