[QUOTE="Austin Sewell, post: 1022978, member: 72213"] I wouldn't think a converter would cause a shake, certainly a loss of power at speed but not a shake. I've had one go and it wouldn't go past 45 mph but no shake and no smell. You probably wouldn't even notice an O2 sensor except on gas mileage, CEL would be steady. Are you experiencing a misfire? Any fluids leaking? Could be a few things but I wouldn't suspect O2 or converter to start, my guesses with the info you gave (where I would look) would be plugs/wires/ignition coil, check oil obviously in case you've got none at all, then report back with more details if you find anything out.
