My euro shakes when I'm idling on drive, no acceleration. I can also feel it when brake is lightly applied when stuck in traffic i.e. the brake is very lightly applied that the car still moves forward in traffic. It feels like the car is going to stall...felt more when its up hill. It is possibly the torque convertor?
I took it to honda and they said they supposedly 'found' the problem and said the rear engine mount was sagging/weakened so they replaced it.

But it still has the problem!! Any ideas? Anyone experience this before?

automatic btw

Did they change the gearbox oil at service? How long has it been since the service?

Does it happen worse when your aircon is on

I've had this problem with seized Vtec rocker arm pins. Normally occurs at idle and when slowly taking off slowly.. Had to remove and dismantle the rocker gear and clean all the Vtec rocker arm pins. Normally happens from lack of servicing. (oil changes)
However torque convertor shudder Is very common with cl9s.
Torque convertor shudder is normally more noticeable when slowly accelerating between around 40-60 km/h

Good luck with it all.
