Default Harmonic Dampner

A slipping / failing harmonic dampner can cause exactly this symptom. It comes and goes and can cause the whole car to shake. I had it happen to me. Supprisingly, even though the dampner is way at the front of the engine, the shaking and vibration goes thru the whole driveline.
