accord type r
Hi chaps whilst i finally figured out what my rattle was at 2000 rpm i have came across my last problem i need to sort, only recently and now and then my Accord Type R makes a horrible vibration when moving off from 1st, and that's it noise goes, has anyone came across this problem before ? any help appreciated chaps
 
Is the car a pre facelift?

Is the vibration a noise or a feeling you get? Can you smell clutch?

Have you tried setting off in second or third gear and seeing if the noise happens then as well as when you're in first?

hi bud it is pre facelift , clutch does not slip at all nor can i smell it.its a horrible vibration noise and feeling through pedals. i will try pulling away in third and see how i go , many thanks gav
 
The vibration is only there when going away, while you are working with the clutch?
Could be a faulty engine mount.
Also, are the balance shafts properly aligned?
 
Engine mounts will be a good thing to check, but i'd have thought if it were the mounts then the vibration would happen more often.

Drive shafts are also a good shout. I've had the balance belt removed from my ATR and there is no noise/feeling when pulling away. Only a really slightly extra vibration when on tick over.

If the vibration is really bad then it might be worth getting it looked at. I can reccomend Chris on here who has set up his own garage. He's based in Manchester i beleive. My geography of England is AWFUL, but if it's not too far take the car to him to get it looked at.
