Re: [DML] Re: Trans problem-voilent shake

I think it's the clutch.  Even though it was replaced lately, it sounds like
a classic case of clutch chatter.  If the car didn't behave like this before
the clutch was done, and it does after, you have to go with what was 
changed most recently as a starting point.
