Hi m8, are you sure it's in these gears or is it happening when you go over a cretin speed? If it is happening over a cretin speed and only kissers when you put you foot on the accelerator and stops juddering when you let the accelerator go, it's your driveshaft. Other than that m8 I can't help you any further sorry

I'd consider the coil pack, plugs and leads. Usually you can tell a coil pack is gone if you try and do 20mph in 4th gear, it will start spluttering. Try that.
