Default Excessive shaking at 7700 +RPM

Hi, I got a 97 integra GS-R and when drag raing at rpm over 7700 I get this hard shaking. from the motor or trans. I can really hear and feel it shaking via the shifter. I do have ES shifter bushings. Anyone else like this or is it only me?

I have 3 guesses
either
1 An Axle going bad
2 Clutch going bad
3 Crankshaft Balancer/Pulley is bad

it also could be a misfire in the engine

What about motor mounts? Check those first.

I have same problem. Somewhere above 7K the car vibrates. You can really feel it on the pedal when I hammer it. It's massaging. Is that a big problem? How do I go about checking it out? There are no check engine codes being thrown.

Maybe it could be the wheel bearings. I just dropped the gsr in my ek. All mounts were in tip top shape. I put in new axles though. Couldn't be that...Hmm...

I highly doubt its the wheel bearings,if they where that bad,you probably wouldve noticed them when you changed the axles and they usually dont do something like that,they usually just make a humming sound,like when you drive with snow tires.

New axles mean nothing when dealing with FWD and hp. I would check the axles first, cause its always the culprit. I dont think it would be a mount if it was it shouldnt vibrate like that.

If its the axle it would only vibrate when you are on the power. If t jerks at pulling off and revving etc. then it could be a mount. You can also try shaking the wheel to check the bearing.
