Default Cursed GX Part 2 (Vibration and Mirror problem)

So I got this gem for the ones dont know yet. Aside from developing a clunk, camera stopped working, CD player Quit within the first 600 miles. new issues developed:

Im driving today and when on the freeway at about 65 mi/h under a low load (Slow Acceleration) i started experiencing vibration. it extended in to a heavier vibration with more of a pedal in and higher speed. the car doesnt do it a low speeds, but i can really feel when applying low amounts of gas at highway speeds. it seems to do it only in 4 and 5th gears... maybe i dont really notice it in the other gears at lower speeds. when i lift, the car drives smooth. I know the car is due for a timing belt not sure if related. I heard it could be a transmission can anyone confirm? or any other ideas?
Also, While trying to figure out the Camera problem I pulled the fuses out ans put them back in. now my passenger mirror, when i put the car in reverse, goes down and click two- three times. (goes to low)
Thank you all

I was having the same issue last Summer. That is Transmission Shuddder... For me it used to happen when i was between 20-35 MPH and transmission tried to downshift but shuddered. I use to let my foot of accelerator and it downshifted and use to smooth out.

Have the Transmission Fluid Fluid Flush and It should go away... Refer to this thread below:
