I tried searching this topic, but the words I used only came up 3 three results. I tried - "Shaking Turning" and "shaking" but if there is something else that I can try, please you would point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

Skip below if you would like.
Well, I just had my transmission rebuilt and reinstalled today. I picked it up from the shop and everything drove fine when I got it. I drove home feeling confident that my transmission problems were behind me for now. Fast forward to a few hours later. I decided to take the car for a longer drive to ensure everything is fine. Everything was fine until I started to get near my house.


This is what happens.
After making a left or right turn at a red light, I will straighten out the wheel of the car. Everything will be fine for a few seconds, then there will be a slight/light rumble/shaking of the whole car lasting no longer than half a second. My question: Is it related to the transmission? Should I take it back to the shop and have them look at it again (hopefully at no charge)?
Sorry, I am not very mechanically inclined. Just a college student trying to get to and from school.

Edit: forgot to mention that the ruble will happen at low speeds either in my neighborhood or on surface streets

make sure your lug nuts are tight. sounds like they may be loose

 

Sounds like a comeback to me. Take it back to the place that did the work. as long as you are sure that it did not shake before they worked on it(not fair to the tech. if it did) You should not have to shell out a dime toward making it right. Thats what would happen in my shop. My .02c

 

I am certain that there were no problems with shaking before taking it to the shop. How do I check if my lug nuts are tight enough? I'm scared to over tightening them eventually having them snapping of.

 

make sure the inner part of ur wheel is flush with the rotor.. and with ur tire iron see if some are ridiculously loose (can be taken off by hand) . it could be anything from tires to suspension to axles to ur tranny.

 

The lugs are on tight. I am very sure that it is my tranny considering that on second gear when shifting to third at any rpm, there will be that shake. I am going to take it back.

 

maybe wheel bearing? my car shook when mine was out.....but then again i didnt really notice it for a while.
