start by listing the symtems of when it shakes. is it cold start? warmed up? in park? driving? rainy?..... then maybe somebody can jump in with better ideas. GOOD LUCK

I assume its in all gears.
Does it go away when you give it a little more gas than usual?
Most likely its your mass air-flow sensor.
Clean the MAF sensor.
You can buy sensor cleaner at your local parts store for 5-7$

If that isn't it, I would assume its suspension related.
But clean that first then let us know how it runs.
Good luck.

also, I'm about to buy a 95 mustang GT with a 302.
What can you tell me about this vehicle?
It seems really strong, but I have not had the chance to talk to other 95 GT owners.
Anything I should know about that you have run across?

it shakes while idling and smooths out after 2000 rpm. but I ahve started noticing that it still is shaking above 2000 rpm its just not as noticable.

Might be a loose, cracked or even broken motor or transmission mount. It might be a fuel delivery problem, and the shake could be the car starting to shut-off. Depending on the miles and the previous owner’s maintenance habits, it could also be dirty injectors, intake carbon build up, bad plugs, bad wires and the bane of the diagnostic world, a vacuum leak. As always, start with the easiest and work backwards, unless you are like me, then pick what the most expensive item is and that will be the problem!!
