I would bet that the transmission mount is worn out. You can easily tell if the mount is bad by going on and off the throttle at about 30 MPH. When the mount is bad you will feel a thump on the floor when going back to throttle. This works best for completely worn out mounts, if yours is on it's way out you will have to visually inspect it.

If you got under the car
and the tranny mounts were worn,
would you be able to move the tranny by pushing up on it?

Possibly by using a pry bar but not with just arm power.
