Default Clunks and vibrations...

I have a 2002 camaro ss, a4, 3.23 10 bolt. Stock suspension, stock drivetrain, 108k miles. Lately ive noticed I have a slight vibration about 70mph which isnt the wheels because they have all been personally balanced an zeroed out. Ive also noticed that i get a drivetrain vibration whenever I get on the throttle or let out. I also have a hard clunk everytime it downshifts at wot. I had a similar clunk on my 91 z28 which turned out to be the transmission mount, however everywhere ive called says they dont list a trans mount for this car. Anybody want to speculate? I wont be able to get it up on a rack till friday.

My stock tranny mount clunked under the console but had no vibration when it failed. I would think U-Joint....start there and BTW a U-Joint can clunk too so the tranny mount may be ok... IMO the GM tranny mounts are worth the extra $$$ if you in fact do need one.
