Default Please help!!

Hi, I just recently bought a 1995 mustang convertible it has 27,000 miles on it and im having a problem where my car is shimming or shaking whatever you would like to call it. it doesnt occur all the time but when it does happen its usually between 35-45 mph. i just found this statement on an internet site about common mustang problems and im wondering if anyone thinks this is the problem or if you have any suggestions, the only thing is the article i read about was for the 1994 model mustangs and i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows the solution. thanks

Automatic transmission: The automatic transmission is notorious for shuddering or vibrating under light acceleration or when shifting between third and fourth gear above 35 mph. It requires that the transmission fluid be changed and that only Mercon fluid be used. (1994)

I have alrady posted this once but only got 1 reply and he said to try changing the transmission fluid which i have already done. I had it flushed and new transmission fluid put in but he also said to replace the torque converter fluid. i havnt had a chance to do this yet. When i had my transmission flushed this seemed to help alot because it doesnt shudder as much anymore but it still does it sometimes. Any other suggestions of what i can do? if no other suggestions are made il try changing the torque converter fluid. thanks a bunch guys

If you had it flushed, the torque converter fluid would have been changed also. Thay is if they used a machine to flush it. Check the tranny mount, then the U-joints.
