Default Vibration when reving car

Don't know if this is in the write forum, but anyway...seems like it is progressively worse. In neutral when I rev the engine, I am having some vibration now. Never started doing it until after my converter install. It was slightly noticable at first, the other day it was really noticable...sometimes I can feel it under acceleration as well. Any clues?

Perhaps the tranny mount is busted. You can replace with stock, but many of us use the Poly Mount from Summit etc.

Also, could be a busted torque arm mount. Same deal, replace with poly.

Finally, double check how your exhaust is hanging. Could be rubbing when getting on it.

I agree with all of these plus a conveter bolt. which this one I would worry about after you check his ideas however, I would worry if the motor is out of balance it could shake something apart.

The TC could be out of balance! If your getting vibration in Neutral or park while reving, it's not the tranny mount, torque arm or exhaust IMO. Check all the TC bolts as mentioned...
