I am dealing with the same thing...I think. I have a 30 Coupe that produces what I would call a drumming that you can feel in your ears. This takes place around 15-25 mph in high gear. It is most noticeable at 20. It appears to be transmitted from the engine as there is a vibration that is most pronounced at about 20 mph. It resembles a exhaust drone except it follows a engine vibration through this range. I also have FLM mounts and I have tried different things to prevent the transmission of vibration from the engine to body. I loosened the transmission mount but nothing changed. Next I tightened the bell housing mounts one at a time and nothing changed. Next I loosened the mounts one at a time until you could turn the rubber mounts with your fingers. This seemed to make it better. I may try original mounts just for shits and giggles but do not expect to see any significant difference. I would have to believe there are others who have been through this (I hope) and found the answer. This condition is very unpleasant for putting around town.
