Default Need some help!!!!!

I need some help! Coming back from the Funfest running on the interstate at 75 mph. I start around a slower moving car and my vette start to shutter.
I didn't push it very hard just gave it a little gas. This is the second time it has done this. If I give it a lot of gas it never does it..
Any ideas why its doing this.
Thanks,
Rick

Well,on older {pre FI/Comp controlled stuff}low rpm bobbles were usually ignition related,plugs,wires,cap,or rotor.Maybe the same theory applies

New plugs and wires! I would'nt think it would be low rpm if i'm running at 75 or 80 mph. But i did have a old vette (82) that had bad wires but not the same feeling. Thanks..

is an auto tranny? before my tranny went out it would make the whole car shutter in situations like that. To me it felt like it was trying to down shift but would kind of get stuck in between gears and the car would shake pretty hard.

Hi Joe, Yup it a auto tranny! I was told today it maybe lockup for the torque converter and the module is going bad.
Has anyone very heard of that...
Thanks,
Rick
