violent shaking...PLEASE HELP!

[Heartbeat_of_94]

all right. its been a while since i have said anything about this. lately the shaking has stopped but at time the gears seem to not shift correctly. i'm tkaing it to a shop back home soon but does anyone have any ideas? shift kit or tuning maybe? just curious so i have somewhat of an idea of what i'm facing in the shop.

do you have stock gears or aftermarket?

well, sometimes the biggest problems are the stupidest little things... like, does it seem to shake like the engine is stumbling? is it behaving like a manual would if you tried to go from dead stop in third? cuz like, my engines been doin the weird stuff with the shifting lately too but i'm not pinning it on the tranny, i think that since the engine is actin up it may be throwing off the computer for the trans. like, i would go through and check the MAF and PCV and change the fuel filter... maybe even check the vacuum lines first. the small stuff is the stuff is usually the problem. if you've already done all that, you might be lookin at more serious stuff like a broken balance shaft

hell, you might wanna also check your air filter too while ur at it. almost all engine problems can be diagnosed if you think FAST (Fuel, Air, Spark, Timing). so spark is fine, now agian, go after the fuel and make sure its getting enuf and same goes for air. timing is a little bit more of a PITA so save that for last.
