probably the U-joint needle bearings are getting lightly toasted, by now~

there's something called resonant vibration that makes a synchronous tonality over the components actually very destructive...get it mended u- joints are comparatively inexpensive

unlikely, but could be a cracked flex-plate as well...does your starter sound like it's in a cereal bowl?
