No problem if you accelerste slowly
Sometimes does it right after shifting into 2nd gear but its very qick
And goes away right away
Replaced front axle but did not fix the problem
Makes the car shake and you have to take your foot off the gas
Also
Anyone know the problem wit h the instrument cluster?

YOUR DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SORTA VAGUE

I'M PUTTING IT TOGETHER THAT YOU HAVE A VIBRATION OR SHAKING PROBLEM

IF ENGINE SPEED AND IT'S "TORQUE" IS INVOLVED, EVEN GOING UP HILL OR DOWNHILL......MOST LIKELY YOUR ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION MOUNTS HAVE DETERIORATED OVER TIME.....THE ENGINE MAY NO LONGER BE FLOATING IN RUBBER AS IT ONCE WAS

LEAVING THE HOOD UP AND WATCHING THE ENGINE.....WHILE YOUR BUDDY HOLDS THE BRAKE AND SHIFTS FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE MIGHT VERIFY THIS

AS FAR AS YOUR CLUSTER....LOOK AT THE BOTTOM END OF MY ANSWER IN THIS POST

It only does it 95% of the time when stoped
I replaced the motor mounts before the axles
If I turn the ac on it seems it dosnt have enough power
To make it shake
