Will a polyurethane trany mount help cure a vibration? I get a vibration before 1/8 mile until about 1000ft then gets real smooth to the 1/4 mile. Drive shaft is new output shaft of trany is good. I have stock trany mount with stock engine mounts with two home made torque straps on each side of engine. Thanks Bradley

I know you said it is new but I would get the driveshaft checked for balance and straightness..Just saying seen it a number of times.

I had this problem before and changed driveshafts (all new ones) checked output shaft ended up putting factory weight on tailhousing of trany and solved my problem. I pulled engine to freshen it and its back worse them before.

Now you have to find out what broke it
EDIT
I'm thinking the drive shaft was bottoming out

How much room should there be to be safe? I have enough room to get drive shaft out. Maybe 1 1/2 play.
