hi, thank you very much for the donation, I apologize for the wait, let me ask you, when installing the new engine/tranny, did you install a new tranny mount/ and engine mounts?

The work was done when I bought it so I am not sure. But I do know it seems like it gets worse the longer you run it. I just don't want to put money in for other things and the trans be shot. I will say it shifts better if you accelerate faster but if you don't it vibrates at those speeds I told you and if you let off the gas after traveling over 50 mph.

yeah , it sounds like a possible torque converter fault. or even just the torque convertor clutch solenoid.
