I really hope it's not the flex plate, as I haven't seen to many people complain about this issue with that, and its expensive lol. I'll get in touch with them after the weekend and see about modding the OE mount to see if that fixes it. Thanks for the insight into your swap, I'm glad you got your vibrations sorted out! It gives me hope!

I agree buying the trans mount is much less hassle than modding the OE but you literally just cut a "window" out of the rear portion of the mount so it can be slid forward and not contact the rubber isolator inside. I did mine with a pneumatic handheld grinder in less than 10 minutes but electric will work as well. If you decide to leave the modded OE mount in place, remember to paint the bare metal you just exposed via sawing.
If you want pictures of how mine looks email me
Tractionless@comcast.net as I've seen some that are way over hacked (top rolled portion gone) and look structurally compromised in my uneducated (but plenty of experience) opinion.
