Let's cut through all the BS.
So you're saying that it vibrates when the car is moving a lot between 25 and 30 MPH.
With the car stationary and in neutral, it doesn't vibrate.
You have a bad u-joint.
Pull the driveshaft and inspect the joints. Any amount of slop, stiffness or "crunchyness" indicates a bad joint. Very common issue as these cars age since the u-joints are non-servicable from the factory.
At this point you can buy a new OEM shaft, replace the joints yourself (pain in the ***), have a local driveline shop do it, or buy a new aftermarket shaft from the local driveline shop or Mazdatrix.
There, done.
It feels like its from the tranny or the wheels.. I noticed that it vibrates a lot around 25-30mph and when in nuetral and doesn't vibrate when at a stop. Which rules out the driveshaft.. maybe somethings messed up in the tranny? But why would it only vibrate when moving? That means it has to be the alignment right? But why would it start vibrating out of nowhere?
I'm not sure but I really need some help.
