Excessive Vibration and Steering Wheel Wobble at High RPM (93 VTEC 5spd)
How's it going guys? New to the Honda scene, so I am seeking some advice. My car is a 93 BB1 SI/VTEC model with the H22A1, and I'm getting done real serious vibrations at the end of each gear when accelerating hard. At around 6k RPM, you start to notice vibration from the front end, and at 7K to redline I'm getting a very serious steering wheel shudder/wobble. Happens in each rpm range in each gear. I don't think this is axle related or wheel bearing related because this occurs regardless of vehicle speed, and dependent upon engine speed in particular. Not sure if it's related, but off of a stop and occasionally when shifting, I get a really hard front end clunk unless I ease off the clutch really slowly. I want to say transmission mounts but I'm not really sure... What do you guys think?

Steering wheel wobble would most likely be worn out inner tie rods. You can disconnect the ends and raise it up and it should stick high. You can also just try to move it around and if there is play then they are even in worse condition than just being able to fall when lifted up high. Obviously ideally the inner tie rods need to be tight and hold up high when lifted up.

My first thought would be a badly chipped/ chunked crank pulley. Next would be a thrashed and out of balance clutch. Both fairly easy to diagnose and fix.
