Default Car shakes?

Whenever I first take off, my car starts to shake and rattle. It only happens when i first take off. After that, it goes away. Anybody know what it is? This is on an 88 crx hf.

It's coming from the engine compartment. It's not the actual car itself.

Are you sure you're giving it enough gas when you're taking off? Lol.

The engine "shaking" is usually a result of a "dead miss.."
Which is one particular cylinder not firing/producing power..
{Might be time for a tune-up...}
Does it have a noticable lack of power when this occurs?

Harsh clutch engagement as a result of a worn-out clutch could also cause
a shaking sensation..

I did the tune up, replaced the clutch, and it still happens. No loss of power at all as the shaking only occurs when I first take off.

check your motor mounts the rubber might be cracking it might not be demolished but even if its wore out in the middle around the metal spacer in the rubber could make it shake at a lower rpm ....or could be the flywheel like he said...

i know my car vibrates a lot but it is from the Hasport Mounts. they are really stiff. i like it though

like they said, check the motor mounts. you might need to retorque one of them or maybe replace an insert or something.

check your tire.. must have a lumps..
check your axles...
My CRX does that because I let it sit for two years... I think the axles joint froze up..

Could be the motor mounts, could be the tranny input shaft. Check mounts first.
