I'm having a problem with my 98 that I'm pretty concerned about. When the car is idling (in park) and I rev the engine, I can feel a strong vibration, more so when the RPMs are coming back down. It's shaky in the steering wheel and gives of a very aggressive sound. I can also feel this a bit when driving.
Input is appreciated. I'd like to know what to expect before taking it to the shop.

trans mount is a silly easy job, i did it on my lunch break at work. use the spare tire jack to keep the rear of the transmission in place while you unbolt it. it's so easy i could just die, it's easier than an oil change, it's easier than a drunken college chick, it's sooo easy
100% sure its the trannt mount, I had the same problem, felt like the driveshaft was bent.
Also change mmotor mounts, you will be amazed how smooth things will get.
Basically.. put your car up on jacks/blocks (2 front corners) and support the transmission with the jack. Then it's just a process of removing scews/bolts, replacing the mount, and putting them back where you found them (some screws differ).
Not much skill required at all. In terms of tools, you just need a wrench and 3 sockets.
