Question vibration

I just installed an energy suspension trans. mount and BMR non-adjustable torque arm and now I have a drive line vibration. It seems to be related to engine rpm. With the car reved in neatural/park or at the top of the gears it's felt through out the car. Could it be the torque converter? If so then why was it not there until after the torque arm and trans. mount install? A4 stock converter HELP

Stock mounts are soft and absorb vibration. Did you verify your pinion angle after the install?

No but the vibration also occures in park with engine reved up an the torque arm is non-adjustable.The vibration rattles the console pretty bad, the higher the revs the worse it gets.HELP!!!

i just made a post about this in newbie section. new trans mount and HELLA vibration. i think im gonna replace it with a new stocker or like somebody else here said a 1le mount. the vibration is annoying while cruising around..

also i think the polyurethane mount is higher/bigger than the stocker so would that not push the trans higher up and throw the driveshaft angle off a little bit and cause vibration? that is what im concerned about.

1le is a suspension option on some f-bodies. not sure what exactly it entails, maybe thicker sway bars and better/bigger bushings on certain suspension components. if you care that much you could search... somebody mentioned the 1le mount so im guessing it is "better" meaning it is probably somewhere between my horrible *** prothane mount and the soft stock mount..
