94? there's a 95% chance that you're talking about the Granada model, known as Scorpio on the continent but not in the UK. In that case you're on the wrong forum/website.

have you got this;

Sounds like the "Rubber Donut" between the gearbox and propshaft is breaking up.

Rubber donut connects the output shaft of the gearbox to the propshaft > > >

Quite easy to replace if your handy with spanners.
If you can get one for your car is another matter
