I am having the same problem as a previous post on 12-3-09 where my CRV shakes/vibrates occasionally on a level surface between 25-40 MPH. If I let up on the gas or excellerate the noise immediately goes away. I also have a 03 Odyssey that does the same thing. The Honda dealer can't get it to make the noise but they replaced a 3rd clutch pressure switch for a flashing D light. This didn't help. They say they can't do anything without feel the vibration.

Hi rebt101,

Thank you for the donation.

If the vibrations only occurs during light acceleration, there most likely cause would be the drive trains.

I would suggest checking the CV shaft inner joints for excessive side play, worn rubber boots and spilt CV grease around them.

The other item to check would be the propeller shaft. If the U joints are stiff or worn, vibration would occur at the speed mentioned with light acceleration.
