Are you auto or manual?

Is the car throwing any codes or have you checked for any?

- Check driveshaft at trans flange, center support bearing and rear pinion flange for any missing or loose bolts. Also check the driveshaft center support bearing for any tears or rips in the rubber.

- Check engine mounts for loose bolts or broken mounts.

- Check and make sure that either your A/C clutch is not wobbling or deteriorating OR that your harmonic balancer is not doing the same. Look at both with an LED light while the car is at idle, neither should show any signs of a wobble at idle. Check the harmonic balancer for any deterioration of the elastomeric center that binds the inner and outer sections of the balancer together. If there is ANY cracking or protrusion of the rubber elastomeric center in the front OR back side of the balancer, replace the balancer.

Aside from those (3) points, if your an MT82, it's possible the clutch assembly is failing. On an auto it would be a possible torque converter issue.

It's not wheel bearings, brakes, or tire balance issues, because those symptoms will be present at any rpm/speed and will not cycle "on/off" at certain rpm/mph transitions.

You might be having the OE clutch friction material failure...

Is the shake a chatter?

If you were to be a neanderthal, put the car in 3rd, race the engine release the clutch while holding the brake FIRMLY.. It should stall if it doesnt or it does something other than... you know

Check your rear exhaust back box rubbers especially if you have fitted aftermarket rear boxes …a vibration there can feel like it’s engine
it’s a five minute job to rule it out,

It could be the drive shaft check your connection points it could also be like stated above the clutch material going bad. I would not drive it until you have it checked out. If it is the clutch material going bad it could delaminate at speed and it could do a tremendous amount of damage much like the drive shaft. I’ve had a DS go out on my 1500 and it happened as I turned a corner at low speeds I was lucky. If it would have been on the highway it would have been a bad scene.

It feels like literally it’s like skipping like a hard vibration then I just accelerate more and it’ll go away by like 5,6 gear

But it is not everytime I drive sometimes it won’t for a week then it will again it’s not everyday
