Default C5 Corvette vibration

nice to meet you. I am currently translating it from Japanese and posting it.
I'm driving a 1998 Chevrolet Corvette C5 convertible in Japan.
Mileage is 24,000 miles.
Lately, the inside of my car has been vibrating when I shift into drive and reverse. I don't think it's the engine mount because it doesn't vibrate when I'm in park or neutral. If anyone has had similar symptoms, please let me know.

Is the vibration under the car? if so it could be an exhaust hangar or clamp. Maybe torque tube aswell.

Mine had bad mounts when I got it. Did not vibrate in P or D either. It did jump around on start up, driving it with the hood off showed the engine jumping around quite a bit.

I think it's probably coming from below.

I don't have my car with me right now, so I'll check it when I get home.
