Hi Alejandro. Thanks for contacting us today. Sometimes when you experience this type of vibration as you’ve described, it’s caused by a damaged input shaft or other components inside the differential. This could also be a loose or damaged engine/transmission mount or perhaps a vacuum leak. Having a professional mechanic come to your location to help diagnose this problem would be a good idea.
