ujoints usually vibrate the worst around 40-45 mph is what I have found...
Lisa, if it plugged in the wall you wound never run out of good vibrations...
They still make "vibrations" that plug into the wall?
Was at a friends house when I was a kid, and we were snooping around in her mom's room and found one of those. It looked medieval. I thought to myself it must be some type of torture device. I wasn't too far off. haha.

when you shift from forward to reverse, do you hear a clunk? that is another indication of either excessive play in the pinion, or bad u-joints.
if you can change them yourself, it is cheap insurance spending the $25 for a set of joints.
Sometimes I hear a clunk, but I park on a driveway with a bit of an incline, so I have chalked it up to that. I discussed this with Dan a bit, and he came up with a driveshaft that is out of alignment, possibly caused by a frozen joint. I can do them myself, only problem is finding a day when it isn't raining, or there isn't some event planned.

How do I check for a bad trans mount?
I have no idea how to check for a bad "tranny" mount
Not yet. It was actually a pretty nice evening. They are threatening good rain tomorrow though, maybe a few inches. I think today was the nicest day we'll have for a while.
