Kind of hard to diagnose, could be a number of things really, I would suggest checking all of you're suspension components/system, how do your tires look?

does this happen at other gears if u are going too slow and in a high gear??? What are ur RPMs at in 5th gear at 55?? You may need new spark plugs, but thats a basic diagnosis.

Some say rebuilding the tranny with new bearings is the fix. My car started doing this just after I replaced the OEM tires. So, that would be in the low teens. I now am pushing 80K. Other than the vibration, my tranny is still good.

If it's not speed related and it doesn't vibrate at that speed in a lower gear I have to say it's your trans. 4th gear will take you to well over 100 MPH so don't be afraid to try get it up to 70.

My car used to vibrate at higher speeds then I got Spoolinup cop and new tires and the problem was fixed. Not sure which one fixed the virating since they were both installed at the same time but my guess would be the tires.
