Check exhaust components for clearance to the floor pan and the frame. Also check the front and rear universal joints on the driveshaft, torque arm mount to transmission, rear crossmember and trans mount bolts.

Re: got the shakes :P

I know that I have 1 shot engine mount (RHS under my steering colum, complete PITA to get to) and a bum gearbox mount coz if i plant my foot my gearbox hits the flore (I know there is no point in doing the gearbox mount till I have the time to fix the engine mount coz it will just brake again).

But they have been stuffed for ages so i doubt that they are causing this new problem.

I will look over the uni joints and torque arm mounts when i get a chance.
Thanks

Your lack of tranny mounts may have wore out your u-joints from all the moving around.
