This one's a little tricky cause it could be a few things.
I'll try suggestions in the order of probability

  • Worn out chain & sprockets.(Or chain too tight or has a tight spot) Check this by raising the rear wheel off the ground,in neutral & spin the back wheel. If the chain & or sprockets are worn you'll feel it & hear it when you spin the wheel. If it has a tight spot,set the chain tension at the tight spot & lubricate well
  • Loose engine mounting bolts. If loose re- tighten.
  • Worn front sprocket shaft bearing. to check this(if chain seems ok) Remove the chain(note joining link direction of the circlip. The closed end faces the direction of rotation)Bike in neutral, turn the sprocket shaft by hand. It should turn smoothly.If it is notchy thats not good. It is a major job to change & can be expensive(So i hope its the chain &/or sprockets)
  • Broken tooth on a gear in the gearbox. I hope not as again a more difficult & expensive repair.
Hope this helps you narrow down your problem

2016 Dodge Charger RT. Vibration gear downshifting 2 to 1.

Question edited for clarity.

No it isn't normal. There is probably a change solenoid or sensor issue. Take it to a transmission place and they will put it on a fancy scan tool computer. Tell them you want to see the results. Don't let them tell you that you need a new transmission!

BOTH CV AXLES & TORQUE AXLE REPLACED. UPON ACELL GET VIBRATION GOES AWAY AT ABOUT 25MPH. WHERE IS VIBRATION COMING FROM?

Check for a worn universal joint on the drive shaft going to the rear wheels.

Check your transmission fluid level. (Low level can cause vibration on acceleration.)

Check to see if your transmission filter needs changing.

Does it only vibrate under heavy acceleration?

Question 1. My 2003 Honda accord vibrates especially when the AC is on and its on drive or neutral gear, but it does not vibrate/shake when its in motion.

Hello,
It sounds as if your Automatic Transmission is having issues. The first thing to do is check the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). This is covered in the Owner's Manual (should be in your glovebox??).

If the level is low, it will cause issues. Your ATF should be serviced every 30,000 miles.

My 2005 crv honda vibrates at 40klm and through to 70klm tyres have been changed around at the honda dealers but still vibrating

When you had the tyres swopped round, did they check the balance of each wheel and if all wheels ran true (not bent or buckled), or any deform in a tyre. Generally if you can drive through a vibration it is due to a wheel being out of balance. Other cause of vibration, is wheel alignment being out, (constant, and gets worse as you speed up). Drive shaft out of true (balance or bent)

The car vibrates when in drive while at a stop. What would cause this ?

Vibration at idle brings to mind a few suspects:

transmission mount(s) broken/missing
transmission internally worn
motor mount(s) broken/missing

(1) transmission internally worn or transmission mount broken/missing - test this by shifting into neutral at the next stop light. If the vibration disappears when you disengage the transmission, then the transmission is the source of the vibration. You'll have to inspect the transmission mounts - if they're ok, then the transmission is internally worn and can no longer smoothly "slip" while idling in drive.
(2) motor mount broken/missing - also test this by shifting into neutral at the next stop light. If the vibration persists, then the transmission is exonerated, and the vibration is coming from (under) the engine. The rubber part of motor mounts commonly crack/break and or pop out and are lost.

My 2003 honda crv vibrates when accelerating, only the front of the vehicle vibrates i have replace front axles,intermittent shaft,move the front tires to the back an the back to the front,also change the...

Without driving the vehicle, it is hard to say for sure. However, there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that is published by Honda that involves your transmission limiter tabs (part of the rear transmission mount) causing a vibration while accelerating.
The TSB number is 04-070. I can send you a complete copy of the TSB if you want to post an email address. Or you can also probably get your local dealer to print you out a copy if you don't want your email address posted online. (recommended)

MY 88 accord vibrates in drive gear

a low idle can cause this fault but only when the car is not moving, may need tune up. a broken engine or transmission mount can also cause fault, car will also thump as it goes up through the gears. last but not least, if the vibration is there all the time when driving the inner C.V joints may be worn, more noticeable under load & acceleration. this should help you diagnose witch fault to look at

My 2009 Honda CRV just started vibrating this morning driving to work on the highway. Is there a problem?

Something is causing the vibrating, which is not normal. Need more info-at what speed does it occur, vibrating in steering wheel, or ? What type of climate where you are (driving through something that sticks to the tires can cause vibrating, like road tar). Has anyone else driven the car recently? Could they (or anyone)have hit a large pot hole, curb, minor accident? All these scenarios could cause what you describe. If something was hit as listed, you would need to have the wheel alignment checked, and also suspension components for any damage.
