    So I have a 2006 gp gt. In the mornings when the car is cold and i get on the freeway i feel and hear a bad vibration. the whole car shakes and gets worse the faster I go. The vibration starts to quiet down as the engine temp goes up (not sure if that iscorrelated). within in about 5 minutes at speed the vibration is gone. Where should I start?

    Also im not sure if this normal but, the car keeps the rpms up until the motor starts to register a temp on the gauge on the dash. The vibration also gets a little better after this happens but is still prevalent.

    thanks in advance for the help.

    it could be flat spots in the tires from sitting over night, gets worse in the winter time with the cold. it always stops after a few miles.

    the rpm deal, the car wont take over drive till its so hot. once it warms up, it enters o/d. can also take a few miles.
