It's probably driveshaft related. It would be easier if it were the guibo, also called flex disk or joint disk. However, if your car is an automatic, it probably doesn't have a guibo. Most techs will want to replace the driveshaft rather than replace the center bearing. Rebuilt driveshafts are $450-$600.
