Vibration here too on my 89 Convertible. Very noticeable from 65-80 then it smooths out a little but it's still there. Mine is the opposite of Lord Odin's, it gets less shakey the longer I drive it.

Lord Odin, does the steering wheel shake or do you feel vibrations in the seat? If it's the wheel it's a front end problem, in your seat, it's a rear problem, or so I've been told. :cheers:

Nah, its definitely not wheel related. I thought the same thing at first. But usually if its in the rear, you still get a tiny bit in the sterring wheel as well; just not as much. Its definitely a sort of vibration cause I can feel it really well in reverse going only a few mph.

I just said it wasn't wheel related. I can even get it in neutral stopped. :banghead:

Get up to 90 and put it in nuetral and coast, see if problem persists.

Check the driveshaft, u-joints, and rear c-beam (comes loose alot). Motor mounts dont rust in place! They need replacing after a while, check them too.

Hmm. I didn't shift to neutral but the other day I did go 90+ and then coasted down about 20 mph. I'll try shifting tomorrow.
