WITH ALL REPAIR AND MAINTENENCE MADE ON THE VEHICLE, THE VIBRATION STILL EXSISTS AND SEEMS TO GET WORSE(THE LONGER THE TRIP AND WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES/STRAIGHTENING OUT). THE ENGINE WHINES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AND DECREASES WHEN SLOWED, ALSO THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A BIG CLUNK NOISE AND LUNGES WHEN IT FIRST SHIFTS. *SCC
