Hey guys,

My 2002 honda accord (v6) started recent;y shaking and wobbling when I started to engine (while in parking and in movement). I never felt it before, so I took it to the mechanic. He changed the motor oil, filter, etc. He didn't change or add and transmission fluid, however, I had someone else do it, thinking that I would fix the problem. He said the car was in need of transmission fluid indeed, but the shaking could be coming from one of the tires. He said two of them needed more air. I put more air, but the car still shakes, same or worse than before. It feels like Im running on empty tires, or a bumpy road. Also, Im noticing my breaks are not as reliable as before, making me feel unsafe in my "once in great performer" car.

help please.

thanks

IF you feel it when the car isn't moving (according to your posting) then chances are it has nothing to do with the trans, tires, and most certanily the oil change. Can you describe it. When you rev the engine in park, do you feel it? Has the check engine light come on?

Let me know.

Yes the "check engine" light has come on and thats why I took it to the mechanic, but when I took it to the mechanic for a "routine check up" the shaking wasn't happening. It is slight when on parking and becomes more unsettled as I speed.

I think your engine has a misfire.
