My wifes 1997 Stratus shakes while it is in gear stopped. You can put it in nuetral and it is fine. I brought it to the dealer they said it needed new plugs and wires, and the adjusted the idle control. Does anyone know what this could be. Thanks Jimmerz:banghead:

Check the motor mounts.

I just bought a 2002 stratus se, 2.4 dohc that needed a transmission. I put the transmission in that I had from a 2001 stratus. The transmission works fine but the engine shakes in gear too. Neutral it works fine. I changed the motor mounts one was real bad. Today I put on the extra throttle body I had & cleaned the IAP & body out. Changed out the camshaft sensor, plug wires, cleaned out the egr carbon & just changed out the fuel injectors with the spare ones I had. still the same thing. no error codes either. It starts right up hot or cold, as soon as I apply gas it runs fine in all speeds. It's just shaking when going 0-5 mph with brake off & no gas applied. please help !!! Running out of things to check. Could the timming be off a tooth, the previous owner did a valve job. It seems the car would not run as good as it does if the timming was off. email me with suggestions at patkopecky@yahoo.com
UPDATE: Problem solved. It was as I suspected the timming was off a tooth. While I had it apart I replaced the water pump. The belt looked very new. No more shaking at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
