need help with vibration

I am thinking the vibration is coming from the auto trans but not sure. Vibration is always pesent but it occurs most(heavy) at rpms below 3k- usually crusing under light load. Any help welcome.

yep i vote for the u-joints too cause mine was vibrating too and i bought the driveshaft with the replacable u-joints from mazdatrix for like 250$ with the transmission real seal and now you can feel anything smooth as glass

So I believe I remember that the u-joints can't be replaced on the stock driveshaft?
I need to get a aftermarket like mazdatrix if this is the case?
I will look at the FSM for check of the driveshaft/u-joints...
