I have have Honda Accord 2000 with manual 5 gear transmission. During acceleration it shakes like front end is ready to jump out. Engine doesn't misfire or anything - I have plenty of power on all RPMs and no hesitation - car just goes! However under acceleration it shakes horribly. Also I noticed that if I accelerate gently - lets say shift very early so that wheels don have much power provided to them, then car shakes less, but the moment I downshift and "put pedal to the metal" it shakes really badly.

Can someone tell me what is going on? What would be an easy way to test (so I can do it) and what what should be changed/fix from cheaper to more expensive stuff?

Thank you.

It sounds like its shaking at higher RPMs. Check plugs, distributor, and exhaust for leaks. Also check your motor mounts.

It may be your harmonic balancer. Check to see if its securely in place

Try doing a wheel balance and alignment. If that doesn't help may have to check a mechanic . Spindles could even be bent.

Does the accelerate happen consistently/all the time within a particular speed range e.g. 40-50 miles/hr? If so, you might have a bad axle.
