Do a search regarding transmission mount. It appears to be a fairly common issue and can be DIY if you are so inclined. Please let us know if it solves your problem.

I went through a similar experience. Had the motor and transmission mounts replaced.
Vibration gone. Can't even feel the engine running at idle now.
