Transmission crossmember bushings worn/bolts loose? Floorboard metal is cracked around where the seat track mounts? Exhaust striking the transmission crossmember or underbody? Worn motor mounts and/or transmission mount allowing too much drivetrain movement? Just a few ideas.

Click to expand...

The metal tubes that the rubber busings go in needs to be tack welded to the crossmember. Any muffler shop could do it for cheap or free.
