Yea only in 2 n 3rd gear n it doesn't matter if is over or under load. When it shake it feel like the hole car rattle but on for like a second n then stop n back to normal. I was thinking it might be the axle but I just change it not long ago tho so now I don't know what it can be. Btw I got a gsr motor n tranny.

id try swapping the axle out.

i had something like this happen a few months ago. at first i thought my tire needed to be rebalanced and it was indeed the axle.

i could be that the axles u changed to arent balanced so thats y it causes the shake

What do u mean the axle is not balance cuz the axle I put on is new n they r hasport stage 1 axle. N it doesn't shake when I down shift it only shake when I shift it to 2 gear n a little shake in 3rd.

Something like this happend to me when i firs got my car, when i was running, at low rpm in 3 gear, the complete car start shaking!!! i chek the rims, tire, suspension and everything was ok, i take the car to a mechanic and he said that it was the transmision!!!!! i added a few automatic transmission additive fluids and after i do this, like a week later stop doing the shaking thing----

when the car start shaking, if you accelerate the shake stop or continue??? thats the way he found the problem

i have a shake at 3rd gear too, only when i shift at 3rd at really low speed like 20mph. it only happens when i accelerate, not stomping on it, just like a normal acceleration everyday drivers do. and then it stops when i let off the throttle.

i have b16a with s80 tranny. ( i dont even kno what tranny i have how weak) :( :facepalm:
