Shake when accelerating

Featured Replies

Since we've had the car, (99 OBW) it will shake when accelerating. Some gears are worse than others. The tranny displays some symptoms that I don't think are normal for an auto but I've also been told these tranny's shift rough/engage hard. Is there any other causes of this that I should check into BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION?

What he said and easy to check. You will feel it in the seat of your pants. Get under the car, midpoint and see the driveshaft and its bearings. grab both driveshafts and shake. There should be no play in the X or Y direction. There should be none at the bearing either.
