I have a slight vibration coming from the rear when I take off from a stop. It mainly happens when I try to take off smoothly by feathering the clutch.
My guess was differential but I'm no expert in Rear Diffs. It has had the Fluid changed every 10000 miles and even had a new case put on my Honda due to exterior dmg.
Any suggestions>?

Possible wheel bearings. Severe half shaft play. Rear end clutch posi going out. A few things that crossed my mind. Get your car up in the air and start moving things around. Does the car make any noises back there? Are you sure you feel it in your rear end and not your clutch chattering? That would better explain the symtoms of what your feeling by how you are inducing the problem. Your sitting on the transmision.

good call. I did have clutch chatter about 10000 miles ago. Also had the Clutch Buzz last year after the Dragon but all that has gone away. car is at 66000 and im sure the clutch is going out.
another thing is i had replaced my rear axle nuts, the ones under the Rim, 36mm or so. They were "Clicking" upon momentum changed. Not exactly the sound of CV joints upon turning but this was stop and go clicking. it only seemed to temp. fix the problem so, could be wheel bearing as well.
like u said., i guess i will have to do a thourough inspectioon

Yep, good luck with that. These kinds of issues aren't always easy or apperent to find until something more distuctive happens. I have a car vibration/shimmy at about 70 that I am learning to live with becuase I don't want to spend the big $$ it takes to go through proccess of elimination which seems to be the case allot of times with these annoiying drivtrain issues. Just dumb to replace or fix something that doesn't need it multimple times over just to try and fix one problem. I belive my problem is excesive play in the rear half shaft yokes going into the diff. But thats not cheep to do and to find out that wasn't it, Honda can't do any better then me as far as figuring out if this is the problem or not. Stupid since they are supose to be the pro's!

Ya, i got a vibration around 60-65 mph that i always thought was the alignment until it did it through multiple sets of tires.
