It could be, or it could be your Y pipe banging against your floor which would be because of #1 poor Y pipe to floor clearance or #2 your motor mounts are shot / too soft and need to be replaced or upgraded to poly mounts or solid mounts.

tranny mount only takes 10 mins to istall with a good jack and tools on hand could also be your torqe arm mount ,mine broke right after the trans mount so if the trans mount or torqe arm mount is broke go ahead and replace both and same some time

ad d another 25 mins or so if its ur first time replacin the torqe arm mount it connects to the back ot the trans and usally has three bolts holdin it on ive found that droppin the crosmember and lowerin the tail shaft down makes it much much easier to get the bolts out plus u need to drop the crossmember anyways to change the trans mount .trans mount breaks are very commen on these cars ,replace it with a poly trans mount and poly torqe arm mount will solve the problem for a street car both mounts will run u bout 40.00 any more than that your gettin ripped off .

just sayin thats what ive read on here...actually read it in the tranny/motor mount install sticky i think
if the tranny mount is stiffer then the motormounts then it puts extra stress on the tranny and also vibrates like a **** which makes sense to me but honestly dont know
