is there some reason you felt you needed to start mutiple threads on this???

Your multiple threads have been merged. Please on start one thread on a subject and even then only have searching and reading the sticky threads at the top of this section.

 

Ive got the same vibration probs. Bought solid differential and tranny mounts from Scalliwag Performance on eBay. Getting them put in (hopefully) with this coming paycheck. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

The vibration could be one problem or a culmination of many things. My first impression is a u-joint coming apart. Dealing with finding the major vibration is the only thing to worry about right now. What will determine whether or shifter bushings will even be needed in the event you need another tranny.
If you vibrate at idle it idoes not rule out a bad u-joint. Your motor and/or tranny mounts may be bad.
What I see a lot of is 2nd gens with lots of worn out components. Even some of the cars that look pretty decent have a slew of issues when you get them on a lift.
Bottom line is look for more than one problem.

 

My vibration and clanking was due to bad u-joints so I swapped in a new driveshaft. But I had also suspected bad differential mounts.

As for shifting bushings, check Mazdatrix.
