My car vibrates in 4th and 5th gear, what could the problem be? Drive shaft? U joints?

if it comes in at certian mph i would say u joints on the driveshaft,also the wheels could be out of balance an cause a higher speed vibration. if in neutral an can slowly free rev it an comes in during rpms i would say harmonic ballancer or flywheel,clutch.

true, true, true, also if it does'nt go away have the drive line checked for balance or out of round. Buddy of mine changed gears in rear end and started having all kinds of vibration problems. Aluminum drive shaft from factory in his 1500 Dodge Ram. He races it and was going down south to Paris, and every one on the road got a sample of tranny fluid. The rear seal was being pulled out by the bushing because it was so far out of round. The tranny shop fixed the seal and bushing for free, that's customer service, but being under warrantee the Auto mall dodge dealership was refuseing to fix it because he had mods on the truck. Well when we started quoteing the Magnuson Moss act they said it did'nt matter we would have to call Detroit and let them handle it. Well Detroit called dodge while we were on the phone and chewed their ass. Dodge called an hour later and they said no problem we'll fix it. Only cost him $25.00 for the labor on a $500.00+ drive shaft. Score.
