I did a trans fluid flush about 6 months ago, other than that there hasn't been anything done with the tranny. (Dex 3 or 4 I used)

I replaced the Tensioner Pulley yesterday evening and to no avail the vibration continues. The next step in the hunt is to closely inspect the exhaust system. My guess is that the last time I had the front section of the exhaust out (motor mount install), when re-installed it might have ended up rubbing up on something (logically it would be near the steering box causing the vibration in the steering wheel as well.)

I'll be keeping everyone updated as usual.

Thanks again for the feedback!
