Odd Transmission Sound

-Okay, so based on the sound I cant figure out where its coming from. How it started was when I changed my motor mounts, got rid of the stockies and went with the group n mounts. It never made this sound till the new mounts went in. The sound, for the most part, is only present above 60 mph and under stress. btw, the car was originally an auto but swapped to a 2.5rs tranny, not done by me... was a previous owner.

-Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated!

I am going to say it is just the increase in nvh with the harder mounts. Swap the stockers back in and see what happens.

-I would have swapped them back, if they both weren't broke and in 2 pieces a piece! Pretty much all that was holding my motor in when the 2 mounts got replaced was gravity and the tranny mount. Since then everything has been fixed, dog bone is in, and new mounts. I thought about a new tranny mount but I thought I would ask here first before putting more money out on something that may not need fixing!
-EDIT: May I ask what nvh is?

It's probably just added noise that the group n mounts transmit to the cabin. You can pick up stock rubber mounts (non-liquid filled) for a reasonable price if you want.

You can look at your tranny mount, but it's probably fine.

NVH is a term used to classify noise, vibration, etc. It stands for Noise, Vibration, & Harshness.

-Well being that the group n mounts are brand new, I don't want to put money towards anything else since being on a tight budget. I was told that it could be the incorrect drive shaft, since a swap has been done. All I know is that it is pretty annoying to listen too!
-Anyone having this same sound after putting in group n motor mounts?
