Are you sure your vehicle's transmission mount is not broke?
My 93 Dakota would do this and it was the clam-shell style mount that was
broke into two halves.
Place a floor jack under the trans and raise it up slightly. Look at the
mount under the trans, where the trans sits on to ta crossmember/brace.
See if the rubber mount is broke or damaged. It was like a 30 repair job and
a $50 part.
The noise was gone after that. I think I replaced it at about 125,000 miles.
The truck now has 180,00 on it, without any problems.\
