the o2 sensor should be in front of the cat, since yours is a '95, it'll only have 1, there will be no heater fuse for it, however if the wiring goes bad, (burnt, shorted, broken etc) your o2 will do funny things. I'd suggest swapping it anyway since it's never been done, then go from there.

do the basic tune up as well just to eliminate the easy stuff.

could be a torque converter problem too. buddy of mine had the same symptom and it turned out to be the converter.

hey man how long have you had this shake. Are you leaking any oil. We had a mustang that had a shake when it got warmed up. At first it wasnt anything but then it got worse. Then it started leaking oil. That verdict was a spun bearing in the shaft. But Do the other routine maint. first and use this as a last resort. Hopefully this isnt it, as it isnt a cheap repair but if it is Itll give ya a reason to install some performacne parts.

Check Engine Lights, also known as MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lights).

no CEL's showing up, does that rule out the o2 sensor?
