Transmission vibration?

Hi,
It could be the transmission is slipping, but that doesn't explain the turning issue. Also, when you say it vibrates side to side, I'm not sure I understand what is happening. Do you mean the front of the vehicle moves left and right? If so, have you checked the suspension and steering components?
I attached a pic below showing different things related to the suspension. Check to make sure everything is tight. Next, I circled the engine cradle or sub-frame. Check to make sure nothing is rusted, the bushings are in good condition, and the general overall condition appears to be fine.
Let me know.

Turned out to be rear transmission mount bolts had vibrated out.

Wow, that's actually great news. LOL I'm glad you found it and it wasn't a major issue.
Take care of yourself, and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
