A car with the shakes

Post by Seifer850 »

I've got a 95 850 GLT with 160K. My problem is, whenever I am traveling at low RPMs in 4th gear ( I think... 2k-3k RPMS, from about 40-50 MPH), the car will kind of... well, shake. I am thinking it is a transmission problem, since my current transmission has about 75k, but don't really know what to do about it. Any suggestions? Is this shaking in any way harmful to the car?

Thanks! Long Live Matthew's Volvo Site!
