If it is more noticable when you hit bumps, it doesn't sound transmission related. Check to make sure the shocks bushings are in good condition. Also, check the tracking bar bushings sway bar, and control arm bushings. Finally, check the rear u-joints. My first guess is either the tracking arm bushings or swaybar bushings.
