Trans Mount? 200 1988

244 Auto is making a vibration when slowing down from 25mph and below. Seems to be from under the front seats and back to the rear seats. From reading posts I suspected U-Joints, or trans mount.

Once I got under the car I put the trans in neutral, parking brake on and got the rear wheels off the ground. I tried to find play between the front yoke / driveshaft, between the two driveshafts, and at the rear yoke. I can't find any play in joints. The only play I have is a very slight bit in the splines holding the two shafts together. I also have play between the entire driveshaft and the rear carrier, I can feel a little gap when moving from one direction to another, but I believe this is normal???

My trans mount is coated in old trans fluid from before I replaced the output shaft seal / bushing. It feels like it is made of marshmellow near its front, and it feels "really old" in the areas that it is dry.

So my question to all of you, thank you in advance for your knowledge, should I just replace the trans mount? Or should I pull the entire driveshaft and replace the 3 joints and the center support hardware just in case?

Also any torque specs on the trans mount?

Thank you
