I have a 95 Galant S automatic.
Recently, it developed a violent shimmy when accelerating from 55-65 MPH, or when attempting to maintain speed over 55mph while going up a hill. Once I got over 65 on relatively flat land, it would drive smoothly again.
I brought it in to have someone look at it, they said it was a bad transmission mount and replaced it. It worked fine for a good 50 miles through the Appalachian mountains, then went back to what it was doing, though not as severe.
I realized that it happens at 55-57MPH because that is when it switches into the last gear. It usually only happens between 2500 and 3000 RPM, unless I am going up a hill. Then it does it all the way up to about 3500.
This is only when accelerating. When I am coasting during those speeds there is absolutely no vibration.
Any ideas? The repair shop was not of much help.
