    99 Gallant vibration

    My car seems to vibrate a lot during moderate acceleration. I have
    recently had the wheels aligned and tires balanced, but this didn’t
    seem to help too much. The ride is relatively smooth when cruising at
    constant speed or coasting, but the second I hit the gas to pass
    someone on the highway it feel like my car is going to fall apart!
    It’s not like the engine is cutting in and out, just the whole car
    seems to shake. Any ideas what could be causing this? Something in
    the drivetrain or transmission perhaps?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    your vehicle should have a F4A23-2 transaxle identifiable by casting numers
    STAMPED into the top of the case on top of the transmission. if the
    vibration only occurs in passing gear there is a distinct possibility that
    intermediate band or direct clutch is failing you will find the transaxle id
    number on a flat spot close to where the cooling lines come into the
    transaxle. if you plan on keeping the car maybe get it overhauled if not
    then dont hit passing gear and you will extend the life of the transmission

    COuld be a tyre itself, jack up each side and spi the wheel by hand and look
    for any irregular movement. Could also be a engine mounting cracked and
    allowing the engine to move more than normal.

    there are mount stoppers on the transmission mount, if these go bad you
    have engine to body contact instead of being rubber insulated mr333457 is
    the mitus part number, you may also want to watch the engine movement while
    someone reliable shifts between drive and reverse as you may have other
    mounts ripped,

    I had the same problem with my Galant ’99, in my case the problem was
    tha both axles had worn down. I replace both axles and problem solve.
