Bump Bump Bump
Well, that's what I feel when I let off the accelerator while driving on the highway. My suspension sucks, and I'm in dire need of new struts, but I think it's the axle. Also, just had a tranny rebuild maybe 2 months ago, and my 1st to 2nd gear shift is a jump @ 3000rpm, and I feel something similar, but in the form of a smaller jolt in the higher gears unless I accelerate right before it shifts. I dunno, I'm getting so tired of this car, but then people compliment its rarity and I suck it up and fix whatever's wrong. BTW, thanks to everyone that's been helping me piece this thing together over the past few months. I doubt it'd be running right now without input from the people here.

Get the car up on a lift and start looking at things
Trans and engine mounts would be the first two things on my list. -Bill

but were they tightened down correctly?
You might also want to check out the driveshaft to see if there's any play in it. -Bill

You know what...checking that driveshaft is a damn good idea. I felt something weird with it when I was putting it back in, but at that point I didn't have a car for 2 weeks and didn't care.

Hopefully it's not the front diff.
