it Say Service rear axle
I’ll repeat them. He didn’t hear you. When the problem is occurring (say, at 75mph) is it MAKING ANY NOISE OR VIBRATION?
does the shaking you mentioned also occur at different speeds?

A Vibration like straining to get higher speed
geez...

  1. Is there any NOISE associated with the shaking?
  2. At what road speed does the shaking occur?
  3. Does the shaking occur every time or some time?
  4. Are there any indicator lights (CEL, ABS, Traction control, ESD, etc) lit up on the dash?
  5. If 'yes' which specific indicator lamps?
Also, does throttle or load make a difference?
@MrSurly The vehicle don’t shake or none above the question you ask me. The only thing is does show on the dash at time is Service Axel and strains in I get in fourth gear at 60 to 75 mps
hmmm. well i can tell you sometimes the service rear axle can flash and mean nothing, but if its still on thats different. The initial guess is gonna be the differential. but usually there is a noise that follows. when turning left or right will sometimes expose the differential noises if theres an issue. diagnosing transmission/diff issues can be frustrating. Also this is gonna sound stupid, but if the battery is a little low and not providing the voltage it should be youll definitely get some weird messages like that pop up that are completely fine, but I know you are saying its struggling in 4th.

Can you repeatedly repeat if you are in manual mode in 4th, but all other gears are fine?

What do you mean by that

I'm differential going to diagnostic and might do a gear flush on the rear end. A will differently keep you guys updated.. @pfram
Needs the trans flush.
@CTSVBEEZY Stop chasing these things, that car can't possibly be under warranty, bring it to a decent shop and get it checked out before you grenade it sky high and are left with a 20k bill.
