okay i just replaced both the driver/passenger side axles today. When im on 1st gear letting go of the clutch and hittin the gas my car still vibrates .. not as much as before but the dashboard still shakes and vibrate. Is this common with swap motor? The motor doesnt shake or rock when u push it or anything like that or do i just need to let the axle break in?

Sounds like your flywheel needs resurfacing......

 

or you need to learn how to drive

 

Few things to look at or what we would look at ?

1 - wheel bearings, lift the car of the ground and see if the tire will move side to side.....it should not.

2 - the axles are they new or used

3 - how was the clutch installed and condition of the parts used.


Good Luck

the axles r new. As for the clutch when i bought the car with the LS motor in it already the previous owner said he just put in a new stock oem clutch. And this question is for b18bcivic how does my car vibrating have to do with my driving? i said my car vibrates letting go on 1st so i dont know what your thinkin probably think i meant it bobs like when u first learn how to drive a stick car. But no i've been driving stick for 5 years now.

 

i'll check for the wheel bearings though, but when u jack your car up and push up against your tires isnt it suppose to turn frum left to right?

 

Did you check your intermediate shaft bearing it will cause a bad vibration

Left to Right yes -- like your turning. What you need to do is put the wheels straight hold the top and bottom of the tire and "wiggle"in and out like you were taking the tire off the car and it was "stuck."
