Check the level/color of your fluid. (you do know how to properly check that right?). Low/burnt fluid is usually the cause of over 90% of transmission failures.

vibrating a normal amount. i dont think so. i mean really vibrating. or do galants just vibrate alot or something. going to check my transmission fluid over the weekend. too cold and too dark to be checking fluids after i get home from work.

ALL 4 cylinders vibrate.

some more than others.

so yes, a certain amount of vibration is to be considered "normal".
if its awful, there certainly may be something wrong (loose motor mounts, trans issues, idling incorrectly, misfiring, etc.etc)

its the transmission mount right behind the radiator. check for cracks in the rubber. its bout $100 at the dealership I think. that happened to my car a while back...its round with a big screw with rubber surrounding it, the rubber is probably worn or torn apart check it out.
