Sure...if it has no grease in there, the spider could be binding.

Inboad drive cups need to be look at. flat spot or pitted area in the roller channel will cause vibration. swap driver side to passenger side. its worth looking at.

i took it to honda mechanic. i told him that it is vibrating realy bad but the wierd thing is it only hapens at certain rpms and if i press the clutch the vibrating goes away. does this make since? the mechanic said that if it was the drive shaft it would do it even when u press the clutch or if its in neutral.

Vibration occuring under acceleration but goes away in nuetral is undoubtably something in the drive line. Is the vibration present while cornering and under accel load too?

i did a swap on a brand new drive shaft although the ride feels nicer the sound is still killing me. i dont understand in every gear around 2.5 to 4.5 only while decel or keeping it at a solid 3 i get this vibrating sound its pretty loud it especialy is loud in 3rd or second gear. i am at a loss i did the drive cups and no change either honda says its my tranny but they have been wrong about several things i dont know what to do
