91 EX - Vibration in front when...
Going above 55 and sometimes when going yup hill at lower speeds. I'm pushing a 91 EX 5 SPD manual. It's strange ebcause it doesn't always happen. I notice it sometimes going to work, and coming home through a hilly area. If I take it out of gear the vibration stops immediately, same thing if I let up off the gas, vibration stops. If I'm going up hill the same thing will happen at a lower speed. One morning I couldn't shift past 2nd gear going up a hill or it would start vibrating. I was told it might be the clutch, any suggestions?

I don't think the rpm you're at is the issue, but easy test of course is to leave it in 3rd or 4th instead of going up into 5th, to see if it feels the same at that speed. My guess, just a guess, is that the vibration is an issue at the rear of the car that you feel when accelerating and giving it gas b/c you're putting more weight on the rear in those situations.
I would expect that if the problem was with the engine or drivetrain, that it might go away when you put the clutch in, but not when you just let up on the gas while leaving it in gear.
edit: Unless of course the engine was missing, but I'm assuming you'd be able to tell that's what was happening.
