2004 Honda Civic Vibration when starting to move

[kurgan813]

Hi,

I am experiencing a vibration from what appears to be the front end of the car drivers side (you can feel it in the steering wheel but it is not the same intensity).

The vibration occurs ONLY when you accelerate from 0 to about 15 miles an hour and goes away (automatic transmission - cvt).

If you move from a dead stop and are not in a hurry, you can avoid the vibration.

I had a transmission shop do an exterior inspection of the transmission and a mounting bracket was broken - they replaced it the vibration is still there.

They are going to look again on Monday but I was hoping someone had info about this issue.

The vibration is only when you start to move from dead stop in a hurry and goes away above 12mph or if you let off on the gas pedal.

Note: Does not appear to happen in reverse (as much as i could attempt to go quick). Front struts were replaced recently and the vibration was before and after the struts were done. I doubt this has implications but the car is a hybrid.

Thanks for any info.

it sounds to me like the clutch pressure plate needs to be resurfaced or completely replaced

clutch pressure plate?

In an automatic cvt trans?
