Default Shakeyness

Wanted to see if this happened to anyone else....

When in 4th or 5th gear at about 2000 rpms car gets shakey like its bogging out.

Nothing crazy done to the car, i/h/e and gsr cams.

Thought it maybe a vacum leak but wanted to get some input from ya'll.

Thanks

it could just be that u let the revs get too low in those gears....4th and 5th are meant for freeway cruise not driving slow

Just seemed to have just started doing this.

2k in 4th gear should be bad, were talking somewhere around 30 mph so...

Thanks for the replies.

My EX does fine like that. Don't do it often, usually leave it in 3rd for cruising the neighborhoods, but 4th has never had a problem (as long as you're not trying to accelerate too fast).
