Hello all,

I just recently purchased a 1999 gsx awd turbo it has an automatic transmission. Everything is completely stock and has about 37K miles on it. single owner and record shows no repairs done to it since purchase and all recalls has been replaced. The question is when i am cruising from 40-50mph light throttle the car starts to shake, feels like going over a small bump. I have seen a few questions like this but no one has answered them yet. Im going tomorrow to the tranny place and see what they say, but i would also like some input from you guys. Oh and also sometimes when i am taking off from park. the car suddenly catches gear and goes, its wierd. not sure really on what to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

Check for loose bolts, from the bell housing to the engine mounts to the front suspension. Also check your driveshaft carrier bearing mount. And, how old are the tires? Any tossed weights? Out-of-round tires from lockups?
 
Well, I went to three places today - Dealership said car is in Excellent condition - trie place said that the wheels and alignment is good. But the tranny place was busy hehe - I have to wait till next thursday to find out. thanks for that input i hope its just something lose and nothing internal - cuz that would really be a bummer specially being it a fairly unused car. :dsm:
