I have an 88 Accord DX carbed. In the beginning of the day for about the first 35 miles or so i put on my Honda, when I downshift from sometimes 4-3, but always 3-2, i get a very noticeable funny vibration while my car goes into gear, it always goes into gear, but this noise happens as soon as my clutch starts to disengage I dont know what to do, I have not much money for repairs. I already had the gear oil changed to try and fix it, didnt work. The car and the motor only have 78k miles??PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! Someone said it could be the LINKAGE??:wtf:

Since you said you had the gear oil changed, make sure that the correct oil was used. The tranny uses 10W-30/40 oil. It is a common misconception that manual trannies use gear oil. Accord doesn't. A lubricant that is too viscous could cause what you are describing.

when you get the vibration is your clutch pushed in or out?
did you check you tires pressure?
check the tranny mount? it is under the car in the middle.
