there is NOT a part inside the transmission that makes a car SHAKE.
YOU need a clutch job and mabey a new cable at the most and Motor
mounts at the very least. but the poping out is caused mostly by
the bad mounts ,not a bad transaxle, 68 transaxles are hard to come
by , so get the repairs before you do damage.
