hmm there are a few options.
1. Youve got a broke trans mount.
2. Broken motor mount or mounts.
3. Your counterweight or flywheel needs re balanced or replaced.

And we would like to know what kind of vehicle and mods you have on it so we may further analyze the problem.

Thank you and your welcome.

100 km/h = 60mph

what he said is possible, but it is very unlikely that thats the problem.

first thing to do is check your tires for broken belts, then have them balanced. also check tie rods and balljoints. if that doesnt fix it, then worry about tranny mounts and **** like that. in my experience, vibrations are almost always caused by suspension/wheel problems.

While you're there, make sure you check for wheel bearing play... This is a common wheel-bearing failure description.
