My car does the same thing. I'd be interested in an answer too.

If it is a manual it is probably just clutch chatter, but if it's an auto you have got some problems.

My five speed does that at low speed unless I intentionally burn the clutch. So I just go quick in reverse, problem solved. The sound is really cool too, I love that.

Mine 5 speed has a real bad ckicking in reverse, but only in revers so I just live with it

It might be caused by the tranny mount.

If you have an automatic, chances are it's either a rear motor mount or a tranny mount. If it's only a mount and you can live with it don't worry about it. If you have the money to fix it get it done. My friend had a 90 accord that did that vibrated only in reverse. The mechanic said that it was a rear motor mount. If you can't do it yourself, you're looking at a couple bucks to get it done.
