If so and you suspect it could be from the transmission do this for a check. Get it to the point of doing it consistent and be on a stretch of road that brings it up etc. When it is doing it kick the shifter over to sport mode so it will downshift a gear, but maintain the same vehicle speed. This changes the speed in which the trans activated the lockup clutch in the TC, so if it is that you shouldn't feel it anymore at that speed.
i tried what you said, i do still hear it but not as much, it seems to do it more when im going along up a hill in say 4th gear for example, but really it could do with being in third gear though it copes fine in fourth if that makes sense, and when i say consistant , the 1 second vibration is conisistant for a round 5 to 10 seconds, it's not the whole time of driving, but i guess thats because it mostly seems to happen when going uphill, but it can be any up hill driving, can be on a steep hill, or even just a slight uphill, and i mean really slight, i rarely get the vibration on a flat surface... thanks for your help on this, does it still sound like it could be the centre mount? i'm gonna get the centre mount checked out on friday and see what happens anyway
