I had a bent drive shaft ( no idea how I bent it ) that caused a pretty
bad vibration at high speeds. It was a long, long time ago. I don't
recall if the vibration was in the steering wheel or if it was in the rear
of the car. This was on a rear wheel drive 88 olds. I think that you
should put this in your list of things to check. Replacing a drive shaft
is a LOT cheaper then replacing the transmission.
