Default 95 camaro lt1 shudder vibration

Hello, I Have a 95 camaro z28 and iam getting a shudder-vibration even in park when i rev rpm it will shudder-vibrate i looked at harmonic balancer and it has a slight wobble so i replaced it but the slight wobble and shudder-vibation still there. Engine dosent miss or run rough runs great but at high speeds it vibrates like something is not balanced. Can someone please help iam lost! Thanks in advance! I Want to add that i have replace engine mounts and the vibration at high speeds seem to come from trans area.

no prob craby, we're all here to help right. I think it would depend on how bad the shudder is to really narrow it down.

How long have you had the car? And has it always shutter-vibrated like that, or did it just start?
How many miles does the car have?

mine did too. did it start when you changed the trans mount. i blew the trans mount, got a poly it started the vibration changed back to a stock one and all better. the solid poly transfered the motor vibrations bad. i hear the motor mounts dont do it but i dont know. it was a little better if the stud that is screwed into the trany mount was backed out so it was not bottoming out on the steel at the bottom of the bolt/stud hole. used some thread lock and let it dry a little while before tightening. it was still bad enough that i changed to the stock style. i do have a poly torque bar bushing that works great and does not transfer vibration.
