Default Trans flush help with vibration?

I am curious about a couple of pieces i have read about the trans flush actually curing a slight vibration. I have been chasing a slight vibration since i bought this one. I have done complete brakes , wheels (16in 99 ls) lower front ball joints, 1 wheel bearing, complete OEM shocks and springs,complete tune up, timing belt job, and still a slight vibration. I also had an alignment. I have noticed that the previous owner that had done nothing to the car maintenance wise except replacing the power steering pump. It has some junk yard chalk on it, thats how i know. Is there something that he could have done wrong that would be causing something up there? It is a very slight vibration but is still very irritating. I am this week replacing 4 bushings in the rear maybe thats it. I hope i get there before i run out of money, for i only have a nickel ninety two left.

When do you experience the vibration? As in what driving conditions?

It's hard to diagnose a problem with such a vague description.

coast it down a long hill, throw it in neutral and see from there.... or if you know what youre doing, throw it in neutral and shut the engine off and observe... do a process of elimination.... you waste money that couldve gone to fixing the right problem....

I thought you going to tell me to ,when i got to the bottom of the hill have it aimed right toward a cliff, or a bubbling crater or something. If i wasn't so close i would have taken your advice if it were that. You are so right on the missed appropriated funds. You made me laugh thanks Mista. Jeff
