Is it a stick or an automatic?

How fast are you going when it vibrates? When does it stop?

Did you replace your torque converter at the same time? How does your tranny fluid look? What color, how does it smell, how bout taste, (just a little taste, don't need to lick the whole dipstick)
I'm thinking either verter or bad clutch packs.
