Default crazy vibrations

I have a 2000 Mustang GT...when im driving over 65mph..doesn't matter which gear i was in..the car vibrates...as you press the gas..the car vibrates less...when you dont press the gas the car vibrates ALOT...anyone got any ideas what it could be, thanks.

Could be a couple things.. I had this issue with my car, and realized that it had everything to do with poor pinion angle compounded by a shop who I believe didn't index the driveshaft when taking it off or when taking the old U-Joints out, so they mis-matched the pinion flange and the slip joint, making my driveshaft severely unbalanced and misaligned..


It could even be something to do with the rear axle (which is more what I'm leaning towards), having it's backlash out of specifications, or incorrectly installed would yield very similar results..

well the rear is missing a bolt for a quad shock but it seems to be alot of vibration for that to just explain it. Seems to be more vibration in the center console...just replaced the clutch and flywheel. Also no the car is black lol

Get a european car then. J/K. Sounds like it could be clutch chatter? What clutch and flywheel did you put in?
