After Pulling hard on my newly SR powered 89 240sx Fastback for the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that my car shakes or vibrates when I slow down or when I take off slow. Sometimes it happens even when I am driving on the highway, but after a while it goes away. Its really annoying, and I noticed that my shifter vibrates with it? I have searched and couldnt find anything in relation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does it seem like you are feeling vibration from a rough running condition? how about a dead cylinder?

i hope not, the car seems to idle verry smoothly, and last time I did compression i got 150 across the board no lie. I am stumped, but I think this started happening after me and my cuz did the rear brake pads, maybe we put them on wrong and warped the rotor's?
