I was having the same problem with my escort a few months ago. I was worried the vibration indicated a critical problem with the tranny, but it ended up being a bad tie rod. The part was only $20 and when I replaced it, the vibrations dissipated. I would recommend checking the front ball joints and tie rods if you're still having troubles.
