Default Help! Something Isnt Right

I was driving down the road the other night...Everything was fine untill i decided to give it some gas...It felt like the car was shuddering...But i dont think its my engine because it idles great and SOUNDS smooth when driving and accelerating...I feel it beneath my feet. I guess it feels like my tire is going flat..I was thinking it could be that the weights might have fallen off my wheel, and its unbalanced...But it doesnt do it untill i give the car gas...Please feel free to give me your opinions on this..All help is appreciated! thanks!

i don't know, i don't have an SH, but sense your a feeling vibration in the same area as the ATTS unit, i thought it might be a good guess

My friend's Civic SI had the same problem.
It was because he had a bad axel.

I have the same problem! and i dont think its atts because i have a 94 si.....and it only happens every once i a while...i thought it was my tires too because i had a tire that would get chronically low every 3 weeks or so...but it only does it under accelleration! and it doesnt do it everytime! i only notice it at highway speeds, and only about id say 2 or 3 times out of 10

Finally! Someone with the same problem! And it does it only some of the time too..I looked under the car the other day, and i have a ripped CV boot on the driver side. Could that be part of the problem??
