What could cause a light vibration in an old manual transmission car as you accelerate in any gear along with a loud 'clank' as if something hit the undercarriage?
go get a free brake inspection at a local brake shop, and while they have it in the air, ask if they see anything unsafe or worth noting... also ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle(parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free...make copies of the appropriate sections...read up and good luck :) When you say it's an "old" manual transmission car, is it rear wheel drive by chance? Often a faulty "U-Joint" can cause some occasional "clanking" and if they're getting bad enough they can certainly cause some vibration. Some of the rear wheel drive vehicles also have what's called a "center carrier bearing" which supports the driveshaft. If neither of those seem to be the problem, start checking the suspension parts. Be aware that if it IS the carrier bearing or U-Joints, they can fail in a serious way, causing the driveshaft to fall out while you're going at highway speed. Not a plesant experience.

Typically its wheel barrings but can also be bad rotors.
Is there anything inside a transmission on a 2000 buick lesabre that would cause vibration?
The transmission is usually pretty vibration free. Check the CV joints. Hopefully it is not the flywheel.
Why does your 1994 S-10 Blazer keep blowing transmission seals?
Could be several reasons and pretty much the same for any vehicle: -Improper replacement -Bad forward universal joint causing vibration at transmission tail -Unbalanced driveshaft causing vibration at transmission tail -Bad transmission mount Universal joints usually "clunk" when bad Unbalanced driveshafts will cause a vibration when driving - the faster the speed the more the vibration

Need some more details. Vibration all the time? Only certain speeds, only when you accelerate, vibration in the steering wheel, in the whole vehicle?
What do machanical waves use to transfer energy?
The spring and the mass characteristics of their transmission medium are vital to the transmission of sound and vibration waves.

What is the vibration I feel when I accelerate in my 95 ford windstar?
A vibration while accelerating in a 1995 Ford Windstar might be caused by an unbalanced tire. Another cause for a vibration might be a broken motor mount. A broken tie rod might also make the car vibrate upon acceleration.
When stopped my 2003 Corolla makes a rough vibration. If I shift into neutral the vibration stops. Is this a transmission problem (It's an automatic)?
I doubt it is a transmission problem. It sounds like the engine is in need of some attention maybe even some motor mounts.

when travelling at around 60 a vibration noise all over the car.If you restart it will be ok for many miles.
Why a Detroit Diesel engine vibrate when accelerate?
All engines will vibrate due to the rapidly moving parts. An engine should be securely mounted on fixtures that dampen vibration. Rubber mounts are an ideal example.
