Auto or standard? Sounds like a worn tranny or torque arm mount. Slide under the car and see if the rubber in the torque arm mount againt the tranny is pushed out or missing, if it looks good and won't wiggle up and down put a jack under the trans and see if light pressure will raise it apart at the transmission to crossmember mount.
