Unhappy tell me if this is normal?!?

I have a 90 fox body and when im driving at like 120 or even once i pass 100 my hurst shifter starts to shake due to the road. Its not like a major shake its more like a shimmy... it just like vibrates to the road. you can kinda see it move if you look at it... is that normal cause i asked one guy out here and he said its cause my tranny is about to fall off... i just wanted ya'lls advice.....

There are many reasons that could be going on and none of them are normal. I would go through it all and check it all. (driveshaft, flywheel, clutch) Mounts being bad you would notice it even around town high rpm, check the balancer on the front of crank. If its only going that fast is does it then it could be a wheel balance?? Many many reasons good luck on finding the cause.

My 95 did the same thing and my balancer was comming apart. G/L let us know what you find!

I had a problem like you are describing and It was due to the driveshaft being out of wack. I bought a used one from FBP for 20.00 and solved allot of frustrations...
