When i am stopped at a stoplight i get a bad vibration that i can feel in my feet... not like a constant high speed vibration, more like a semi random shaking, like something is off balance. It is not consistant, sometimes it is not there at all, sometimes it is really bad. This is combined with a rattling sound that is worse inside the cab (see video #1 below), also a slight fluctuation in the RPMs.
After reading a bunch of threads here, I've come to the conclusion that it is probably the Flexplate. I tried to tighten the Flexplate to Torque Converter bolts and they all seem tight, although the Flexplate turns when i try to tighten them so I'm not sure. I started the engine so i could inspect the Flexplate while it was running and noticed it was a bit "Wobbly" (See video #2 below).
Opinions?
Video #1 - Sound from inside cab.
