I had the same vibration on my 2wd i also used the group n gearbox mount, I replaced it with a new standard item and all was fine. The group n is so solid and has hardly any flex compaired to the standard one.

my car has just developed the same problem,only since i fitted a quickshift,mine is a 1990 2wd which is pretty standard,it vibrates and grinds,the only thing i think it could be is that the propshaft isnt lined up correctly.im going to get it in the air and check it this week!
