Default Tranny Vibrating in OD

I tightened my TV cable and now when I going above 60 and let off the gas pedal the tranny vibrates pretty bad? When I loosen the cable the tranny has too much play and smacks around. Should I thighten it more or loosen it?

Its always vibrated. Now that you guys mention it, it probaly is the drive shaft. Anyway I tightened it and its better. How can I confirm if it is the drives shaft?

IF YOU TIGHTENED THE CABLE, AND IT STOPPED VIBRATING IT SHOULDNT BE THE D/SHAFT. BUT IF IT STILL VIBRATES AROUND40- 60. PROBLY IS THE D/SHAFT. COULD ALSO BE U-JOINTS...
