Trans Mount? You should get that looked at soon! You dont want to be messing around with trans issues bro.

How much tread are on your tires? Do you have them aired up? When was the last time your alignment was done?

Id say start with alignment and tires and see if the issue goes away....you mention it happens at higher speeds, which sounds like one of the two that i mentioned.

i actually have that very same problem on my 97. torque converter wont lock up unless i ease on it very lightly! and i also have that annoying shake. from my experience and to my knowledge i believe its the tranny just going out. if you have fixed the problem info on wat it really was would be much appreciated!
