Trany Of Tailshaft Im Not The Mechanic Need 3rd N4th Opinion

[Daniel vp]

hey somewhere on this fourm there was a topic talkin about what you should do befor you buy a car,this is a quote from that topic

"Drive at 60km/h and listen for any unusual noises.

Accelerate to 80km/h, does the front end shake or vibrate? "

my car does this sometime like it will hold gear siting on 80km/h - 85km/h then sooner or later it will change gear then start doing it also my car kind shakes when i go 80k and over it also has no guts what so ever at this point in time then i get back down to 55 and under and it stops,nice car to drive around to or a suburb but once i get on a highway or even 70km/h its shite drive ive been to a mechanic 3 times and thoes usless basterds took my money without fixing the problem $600 lata nice dent in the bank,anyway ive done some research and me and my freinds agree its the trany or tailshaft but my dumb ass mechanic said the tail shaft has been reconditioned?i need a 3 and 4th opinion any ideas anybody?oh yea its a 87 vl berlina

tail shafts dont rob power or wear out particularly, im assuming its an auto so it is possible the converter is a bit shagged.

does it have "no guts" because of the gear it puts itself in, or is it just the motor maybe needs some tlc?
