DRIVESHAFT VIBRATES/SHUDDERS WHEN BACKING UP, PLEASE HELP! 700

Greetings!

I have a tranny question. Everytime that i put my car in reverse and commence to back up, say around 20 MPH, the car tends to vibrate/shudder! It is as though the drive shaft is the culprit. The tranny is fine, i just think the drive shaft may be the issue. I replaced the A.T. mount in June 2002, it was seriously rotted out. I have a AW-70 A.T. in the vehicle, it shifts like a charm, and has not been abused. Might any of my bushings regarding the drive shaft be an issue? If so, what kind of expenses will i incur? Also would it be wise to do it myself and or have a reputable dealer do it? Again this vibration only occurs when i start backing up at a steady pace, otherwise there is no other issues regarding vibrations. Oh one other thing, is it possible that the A.T. mount that i installed this past June, might need retightening? As always all reponses and input would be greatly appreciated!


BEST REGARDS!

88 740 GLE Wagon 355,600 miles (excellent condition) (non turbo) AW 70 A.T. Full Amsoil Lubrication/Filtration, premium ELC (Texaco) premium fuels always! In addition to other premium quality/parts and strict mantenance. I am looking forward to 400,000 miles!
