I just purchased a2007 Honda civic 2dr coupe on Friday. After driving I realized when I am cruising at a low rate of speed between 14. -17 mph the car begins to shudder or shake. If I accelerate or hit my brakes the problem goes away. All other gears do fine at any speed.
Any suggestions on what to do. I have to make a decision by tomorrow on an extended warranty. I didn't realize Honda had problems like this with only 74,000 miles on it. I did however find out the previous owner declined transmission service at the dealership. So I have no way of finding out if they did it on their own or it has been neglected for this long. Please advise if you have any information that would be helpful. Thanks

 

There is pressure switches on your tranny for those gear, you can take it out on clean it or wait till you get CEL.

Google the location on the switches.

 

Thank you, I will research the switches. I am assuming 2nd gear switch if there is one. since that is the gear it is in when this happens.
Also what is CEL?

 

CEL = check engine light

 

Same shudder or shaking even in a different Honda. I drove a 2009 Honda civic and it shakes at 14 mph. The 2007 shakes or shutters at 17 mph. You have to keep the speed consistent at the speed for it to do this. If you increase or decrease speed it stops. Any suggestions?

 

Never had this happen to me.
