I have a 89 jeep cherokee limited. it started vibrating really bad only during acceleration at about 30mph. i found out that my driver side motor mount was bad and my tranny mount was bad, so i replaced both and it still shakes during acceleration, just not as bad. what could it be??

So you did check all three mounts right? If they are all good, check the front end, especially the track bar.

When was the last time it seen a major tune-up? For a start check the throttle position sensor

Is it a motor shake, skip? Or a front end shake?

I checked the two front motor mounts and replaced the tranny mount above the cross member. Where is the 3rd mount located on the motor?

The third is the other motor mount.I.E. 1 on each side, and your tranny!
