Bad Vibration...HELP!!
I have an 89 N/A. Just the other day while i was driving randomly my car just started vibrating. Mainly steering wheel, and shift **** vibration. It definitely is more intense when i get up to speed but the car does still vibrate at low speeds and low rpms. Ive checked the U-Joint, drive axles and my wheels have no play? so im kinda stuck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks beforehand.

thanks for the insight guys. ill take a peek at my motors mounts a little closer tomorrow. i drained and refilled my transmission fluid. still has the same vibration. I feel like maybe my transmission is going? but would it make sense that my transmission is going if i can still shift into every gear. I have no clue what else it could be.

wheel balance... rear end mounts, especially the front one (fails vertically in shear)... driveshaft... engine mounts... transmission mount... ?
All this assumes the vibration varys with vehicle speed, not engine speed...

when you say rear end mounts, what are you referring to? Sorry if thats a dumb question. also im pretty sure my wheels arent out of balance because most of the vibration occurs when im on the throttle. when i let off its pretty much smooth. and i know its not engine related because if i put the clutch in i can free rev all i like and its smooth with no vibration. thats what led me to it being drive train related.
Thanks again for the insight guys,
really appreciated.

Importordomestic. Good call. I checked the u joint connecting to my diff and it was fine so i just assumed at the time my upper one would be fine. haha amateur mistake. I havent taken it off or fixed it yet. but im 99% sure that it is the upper u joint.
Thanks again for all your help guys.
ill post back on here if a replacement drive shaft does the trick.
