Mark is everything running normal? Shift ok start ok etc? Since
this happens in neutral I would rule out the tranny at least for now and
look for something loose that is causing the vibration. Does the muffler
have a stay welded to it, if so maybe it has broken or how about the
engine mounts front and rear?
