shaking under load
i have a 96 accord which i converted to manual about 5 months ago, it was running fine until the other day, its started to shake for no reason while i was cruising only in 3rd, a few days later it shakes in 4th and 5th for no reason while cruising. the next day it started to shake in all gears while cruising.
it only does it when the car is under load, i can push in the clutch and it will be smooth. i can roll in neutral and it is smooth also, its only when i am in gear above 1,200 rpms and pressing the gas.
when i say shake i mean the whole front of the car is shaking, its not a fast shake, its like something is off balance.
what i have done... i jacked the car up and video taped the axles spinning, one did look wooblier than the other, i replaced it. now it still does it.
i also video taped the flywheel spinning, it looks smoother than the axles.
what could it be.... i think it may be either... a bad clutch, loose flywheel bolts, bad flywheel, or bad crank pulley.
has anyone else had this problem or something similar?
please help asap

sounds like its an inner axle joint or bad halfshaft.
It could also be your wheel bearings but the fact that its under load when it shakes says axles
to check the wheel bearings jack up the car and try to wobble the wheel. it shouldnt have any play.
grab the inner joint on the driver side where it connects to the half shaft and check for side to side and up and down play..it should only have in and out play which is for the axle to "plunge" so you can turn the car

Re: (slomofo)
mount is new, rotors are not press in, those are bearings, ive done rotors twice no problems, you have to be pretty dumb to mess up bearings, they only go on one way and they are so tight its ridiculous.
has anyone had trouble with flywheel bolts coming loose and making it shake?
the engine is shaking, only after 40km/h, the wheels and hubs are fine, so are the axles
bearings are good not loose, so it could be the half shaft
