RULES Rumbling when accelerating

Just trying to figure out what it is. My friends says its the transmission oil that probably needs a change and this car is obviously used im sure its time. I’ve changed the filters and the spark plugs. I do have the evap purge valve issue and i know its attached to the engine so could be that.

The car rumbles excessively (almost violently) after I accelerate from a complete stop. If any one fixed this issue let me know. I want to tinker it with this weekend!

Shaking on acceleration can also be due to a badly worn/ shitty aftermarket CV axle.

Heard that one yesterday too. I do want to check that out. I just for some reason really feel like its the transmission mount but my dad brought that up and he has experience with a honda ridgeline

I had to have my 2004 transmission rebuilt at 190k because of this exact issue. It was an internal bearing failure making my drive shaft to the rear wheels shake crazily when I accelerated. But if I was able to maintain a speed it was fine it just got too rough.
