    Did you damage the axle inner joint when you removed the transmission?

      A number of things could have happened.

      1) as tippey mentioned, you may have damaged a CV joint. Did you pull a joint out of place while removing the axles? I did the last time I did my clutch... and I had to replace it. If you separate the joint, you're better off just replacing the axle.

      2) are you SURE you put the axles back in all the way? You can put them in most of the way and get everything back together... but it's possible that they didn't truly snap into place. It's a fairly common error, actually.

      3) Did you touch your tie rods at all in the process? If you did anything to the tie rods, you screwed up your alignment... which would cause a vibration.

      4) are you sure you bolted everything back up properly? Mounts, ball joints, etc?

      5) this may not cause a vibration... but it's something to be aware of anyway. Do you have any torn ball joint boots? Did you damage a lower boot when popping the joints? If so, replace them ASAP. A failed ball joint will make you crash.

        Check you tightened all your front rims.

        I also experienced this with my brothers CD Accord when i changed his brakes.

        However it wasnt till along time after the brakes were changed.

        Then they went away again.

        I could only suspect it had something to do with the calipers and uneven application of pressure, then with time they became loose again and applied pressure evenly once more.

        My guess is they were sticking (since he hasn't flushed and renewed the fluid in a very very long time). Sticking as in not pressing enough rather than not releasing as they were not overheating.

        When was the last time you flushed and changed your brake fluid?

            You probably didn't push the axle all the way into the transmission.
