97 Intrepid shaking during acceleration Sign In

The whole car shakes, especially between 55-65 mph, it gets pretty spooky.. It has lost a lot of pick up when accelerating as well. Has been happening of and on for a few weeks now, with it really getting worse today. Wondering if this is the tranny? My boyfriend knows car repair, and can give it a shot at fixing almost any problem, just need the help diagnosing.

Intermittent problems are naturally difficult! I am thinking this may have something to do with torque converter locking up too early and or "chattering" at that certain speed trying to make up its mind to lock (overdrive) or not??

  Thanks! Is this something a home mechanic can handle, or does this need to be taken to a tranny shop? Are there switches to check that can be changed?

?? Maybe?? It may help to pay for some pro diagnostics and go from there. I know that's why you are here for answers but I don't have definite answers for this - sorry,
