Ha thanks. I went under the car and didn't see anything abnormal, but I wasn't sure what I was looking for. Trying to find a place that can do them in our area

Look at the rubber in the mount. Is it damaged, cracked, dry rot to hell, falling out, missing?

182K on stock mounts? Even if this isn't the issue, I would be replacing them anyway.

Here is what you do, pop the hood and get a buddy (that you trust) to get in the car, put it in reverse with the e-brake engaged, and have your helper slowly release the clutch, if you have a bad mount you'll know it

If its not the mounts (which I doubt since they are nearing 200k) then check your crossmember bushings.

Thanks. New Prothane mounts are going in tomorrow. I hope that's what it is.

Well, the prothane mounts are in, I started it up and it drove fine.... but the problem returned after about 10 minutes, which implies it does it once warm, which makes me lean towards it being something with the transmission. The best way I can describe it is that it sounds like your running over potholes over and over for little spurts at a time then it goes away. Doh!

It has an Exedy stage 1 clutch on it installed over the summer. I have no idea

Did you check the other stuff we listed above? You put all your confidence on mounts, and it wasn't it. We suggested so many more things than mounts. Don't ignore them.
