Arrow GOOD Vibrations

when i get above 60 mph, theres a vibration whenever i hit the gas. let go of it and the car is butter smooth so im assuming it isnt tire balance or brake rotors? what else could it be. The car is a2001 with just under 26 K on it. Lemme know what you all think
thanks in advance.

NEW INFO: no when hit the throttle the car goes right a little when I let off it goes left (or the other way around, but regardless it shifts with the throttle). Also, when i shift, the car cocks sideways a little if i let off the clutch abruptly, but not too bad, not dumping the clutch or anything.

Im having the CV cups checked on friday under the TSB. hopefully that fixes it.

Is your car lowered?

BTW...use Honda MTL for the tranny. LE is ok for the diff though.

The vibration you describe is common on any S2k which was lowered after it has some miles on the car.

There are a couple of fixes. One is free if you can do the work yourself...swap the inner CV buckets from driver's side to passenger side and vis versa. Or you can buy and install driveshaft spacers.

Search for a LONG thread in Under the Hood on "spacers" and you can learn what is happening.
