Hello and welcome to Just Answer. I'm Paul, And happy to help you with your question today.
if the vibration changes with the accelerator pedal its coming from the front CV [Axle](/topics-axle-chrysler/) shafts. the joints are often aggravated when changing out a transmission.
you need to have a shop run it up on a lift in order to put a visual on which axle is vibrating it could be one or both.
but when you get this type of vibration that turns on and off with the gas pedal its a CV axle
If you need more help just reply, and let me know.
Thank you,
Paul

Thanks, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* it doesn't seem to shake that much at 50 mph or less do you think it's a risk to drive it the 450 miles home or would you recommend I try to find a mechanic in this little town I've stopped over in?

it depends on how violent the vibration is they can go like that for a year if it's not terrible but I would get it looked at asap. if its not violent its generally ok to drive for a bit it will get much worse before the axle finally fails

2013 chrysler [200](/topics-200/) convertible. Recently had the [transmission](/topics-transmission-chrysler/) rebuilt and this is the first time I've taken it on a long trip at hwy speeds. I've noticed a strong vibration only when accelerating at hwy speeds. Took it into shop and got new set of tires, balanced, and they said they Had to shift the subframe to do the alignment because when they did the transmission they likely didn't center it properly. Did all that ($650) and it still shakes and appears to be getting worse. Take my foot off the gas and it stops. I have 450 miles to get home and have stopped at a motel for the night. The place that did my transmission said to bring it in and they'll check it over but I don't know if I should drive it 450 miles like this. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you noticed an increase in fuel consumption? And how does the Chrysler 200 start—same as usual? Starts fine. No noticeable increase Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Chrysler 200 yourself? What have you tried so far? Have you read my message?
