My 98 car did that and it turned out to be the bolts on the driveshaft being loose. Hope you find the prob and if not you always can drive a hour and let Nick check it out.
Thanks again for the cats, they should get here tomorrow.

If you buy a poly mount, get a 1LE piece. The energy suspension piece will definately cause vibration. Nothing wrong with it, it's just a harder material and you feel more of the vibration in the car. I had the same problem with mine and it was the trans mount. I had the energy suspension mount though. But, like the other guys said check for loose bolts and wear and tear before replacing stuff.
Well took it to a local mechanic and drove him up the road so he could hear it. He says its exhaust drone. Im sorry but thats what my hooker catback with catted Y fixed correct??? He said the trans mound looked ok..he took a prybar and moved it and he said it was fine. He took a prybar to the PHB and LCA's and pry'd on them and he said they felt ok. He said there was no need to tighten the bolts. WTF guys??

i say replace the the mount and go from there. Prolly wouldnt hurt to replace it even if its not broke.
i've got an energy susp. mount in my car, and it vibrates pretty bad, but it beats replacing tranny mounts every few months. f-bodies are notorious for busting tranny mounts, even my 3rdgen ate them for breakfast. i'd swap it out, it's only like 10-20 bucks, and you can do it in the driveway. very easy swap.

Is your exhaust system broke or cracked anywhere? Are all the tranny an torque arm bolts tight? Is the driveshat dented anywhere. Also, if the tailshaft bushing in ur transmission is worn out it will cause a vibration while the car is moving. I ran into that problem on my car one time. Double check every nut and bolt and just look over everything twice. Your bound ta find the problem. Hope you get it fixed.
