Shaking and Rattling like Crazy.
Shaking and Rattling like Crazy. Whenever my car hits above 87MPH, the entire car, shakes and vibrates like crazy. The car can be in neutral, 5th, or 6th and it will rattle and vibrate so much that the change in my cup holder often times jumps and shakes right out of the cup holder onto my lap! What's going on! It feels like it's coming from right in the middle of the car/under the console, and in the rear of the car. Could my transmission mount be busted? What's goin one?? 
Anyone else? I also noticed some oil around the under carriage of my car, seems to be motor oil 
. Which leads me to believe that my tailshaft might actually be broken. I replaced my transmission mount about 5,000 miles ago, and recently put on a spohn floor mounted torque arm after my old one was cracked: cracked torque arm+ replaced tranny mount= broken tailshaft that i overlooked??

Maybe the driveshaft counterweight got thrown off and is now out of balance? Had that happen to my old fox body mustang. Was smooth as silk until 75mph and then it felt like an earthquake! Had the driveshaft rebalanced and the problem was gone.
Yeah, I can really feel it through my gas/clutch pedals. Ok, I think I might just splurge and get a new driveshaft, maybe a CF. How about the oil? Any ideas about that?

are you sure it's motor oil? check the oil pan. it may be something stupid like your oil filter or something leaking, too. i don't know how far back the oil leak is. it could be tranny fluid leaking, too if it's around your tranny mount. so many factors to include. it would be easier with pics.

When you shift hard into 2nd do you get a bang on the floor by the console that would be your trans mount
