Drive train rumble from a stop
.
What is the level of fluid in the transmission? When was the fluid last changed?*
What is the level of fluid in the differential? When was the fluid last changed?*
Are the motor/transmission mounts intact?
Are the exhaust hangers all in good shape?
*The car is sixteen to nineteen years old, if you are running the original fluids, go find a mirror. Stand in front of it, and slap yourself really hard until you lose consciousness. If you'd rather not do this, your wife/girlfriend may be helpful here.

yes both symptoms could be support bearing,, also howling could be rear end,, if he had said howling i would said check bearing ,,,and rear end. jim
Rudy (most of us know him) and I were at the track in Fl and lost that bearing and could not go over 30 mph,, after a 10.97 run LOL it sounding like a bunch of shoes in a clothes dryer. jim
the rumble noise from the support bearing If the rubber has just starting to tear, will get quiet and smooth with speed,,, up to a to about 60 to 80 then good luck, LoL jim
