cool problem

So, my trans was blowing fluid out of the rear seal. No biggie. Cheap part, and I get to swing a hammer to fix. But the fluid on the underside for I have no idea how long ate the trans mount and the torque arm bushing. Easy fix. Except no one here carries replacement rubber trans mounts except for the dealer and they want $100 for it. So I said screw it, i'm going poly eventually. buy em both as that now and go on to the rest as i have time to do it. Now the vibration in the car from 50mph and up is unreal!!! If i leave an unopened soda in the cupholder and drive to work. it explodes when i open it as i'm walking in. Like it was in a paint shaker. Called Dad asked him if it could be that the rubber engine mounts are toast, he said go ahead and change em. it will make it worse, and you'll feel dumb untill you balance the driveshaft. Any input? Anyone know a driveshaft shop here in San Diego?

you can shave a piece off the poly mount (flatten it) and don't even think about using the preload spacer, but its still going to vibrate the **** out of your soda.
