Default Vibration at Idle - Torque Converter...?

The '95 Accord EX Wagon I just bought has an annoying vibration at idle, in gear. I feel it more than hear it. (My wife's 95 Accord LX is very smooth.)

I had a tune-up and the mechanic said it was my TORQUE CONVERTER.

Also: There seems to be a vacuum line going to the rear Engine Mount.
Is this for real? Or just an illusion? (Someone mentioned this in another thread. But I didn't believe it, then.)

___________

The vibration occours whether I'm in drive or reverse (putting a different pressure on the rear engine mount).

Also, I see vibration midway on the exhaust pipe about where there is a flexible connection.

The engine doesn't seem to be vibrating any more than my wife's car. So I tend to believe it's a mount problem. What about that strange vacuum line...?

Wouldn't an unbalanced torque converter vibrate during driving or idling in neutral/park?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stan
