1964 Valiant automatic rythmic vibration

My 64 Valiant 273 has a vibration that comes and goes in about 2 sec cycles from about 40 to 65 mph. I thought it might be the ball and trunnion at the front of the driveshaft, so pulled the driveshaft to check it out. As the transmission has a flange at the back, the car can be run without a driveshaft so I thought I would run it up in gear assuming it would be smooth. I started it, hit the pushbutton for drive and ran it up to speed and the vibration was there and the same. I tried it again in neutral and there was no vibration. It can't be anything behind the transmission and with it smooth in neutral, I would think the torque converter must be ok. Any ideas on what would cause this in the transmission. It was rebuilt about 2000 miles ago.
just ck trans bolts all. mount and pull cover on front of trans and some how move converter. all that thuff is balanced. I would say something is loose as I said pull dust cover at that point flywheel will not move if torqconterter does .bolts r loose but u may have to replace flywheel and torqconerter bolts slack in this will wear torq converter bolts. next u replace converter slack has caused a worn out converter. bet all I own it. I have ball an trunnion as u call cars an a van. only way they go bad is no and I mean no lube these joints are as a wheel bearing packed if boot go bad may sling grease. out takes 50 yeara 2 go bad.
