Vibration in 3rd gear VTEC, seeking help.
Hey all.
First and second gear feel fine, however, as soon as I hit the power band in 3rd gear my car vibrates quit a lot. It is hard to pin point where the vibration is coming from.
I don't use 3rd gear very often as I am then breaking the national speed limit, however I would rather it not be there as I have my first track day at Winton in 2 months.
It is fine until 6000RPM but as soon as it goes into VTEC the vibration is there all the way to 9K.
What could this be? I doubt it is my diff as I had the mounts replaced recently and my diff is fine. Could it be the Syncros in my gearbox? Has anyone else had this problem?
I really hope I don't have to buy another gearbox.
Please help, thanks.

Is you car lowered?
Mine did it too, but not at specific gear it was on hard acceleration. So, mine is a 2001 and I have eibach sport springs and I fixed with the half shaft spacers. As soon as I installed, went for a joy ride and problem solved, so far 20K miles later, the problem has not come back.
