My 94 GT (Auto) has a pronounced vibration on moderate-to-hard acceleration from a standing start, and hard accelertion from low speeds (5 - 30mph). No vibration on hard acceleration at higher speeds, or while decelerating. I checked the universal joints, and found that one was bad, so I replaced both of them (front and rear), but this did not solve the problem. It seems to be coming from the front part of the driveshaft. What else should I be checking? Trans or engine mount/mounts? Driveshaft slip yoke? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Two things seem to cause vibration on these cars.

1. Driveshaft-out of balance. Fix-Replace with light weight FRPP Aluminum. My car was only a year old when the driveshaft vibration started at 9,000 miles.
2. Harmonic Balancer-make sure the rubber isn't coming out the back. If this is the problem get it fixed before you vibrate the motor into oblivion. Fix- Replace with Romac Balancer.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered an aluminum driveshaft from LRS (crazy expensive shipping to Hawaii), inspected the harmonic balancer, and it looks ok (It has about 30k miles on it). I also purchased an OEM style trans mount. Any tips on how to replace it? Thanks again.

Is there any vibration while just revving the engine in neutral or while loading the engine by applying the brakes?
