I would check into it if the new mount doesn't solve the issue. My buddy's car was doing the same and went to a shaft out of a 00' Camaro and it went away. Just wasn't balanced to a closer tolerance, I guess. Like said before, felt smooth up to about 70mph. Which is what, about 22-2300 rpm?He wouldn't feel it going through the gears, just high speed cruise.

Make sure the driveshaft isn't bottoming out on the trans tailshaft. I had a vibration then the seal on the rear of the trans failed. Took out the driveshaft and it was jammed on the shaft

I just had the same prob after doing a trans build and clutch went with the poly trans mnt and couldnt stand it same vibrations and all at anything over 2000 rpm pulled the plate and added washers between the body and crossmember got better but no dice for me. Put the stocker back in and all good again maybe if all mounts were changed to poly it would be ok but there has got to be a reasson that energy suspension doesnt offer a specific trans mount for these things. And while we are on the mount subject any inter change for the mtr mounts for these 98-02 f ers the price of these are a little high to.
