I have 1984 Honda Accord 4-door sedan, manual 5 speed
with exactly similar shimmying problems as mentioned in the
referenced article.
Two days after I bought it, the shimmying was so bad that
I took it for servicing. The dealer service people rotated
the tires.
It was still shimmying so that I took it back a second time.
They rotated the wheels again, guaranteed that the problem
was fixed, but it has gotten worse.  Now it is difficult to
drive the car even at 55mph.
The service folks have asked to me to bring it in again,
but I suspect the problem wont be solved for a long time.
I am now concerned that there is something seriously wrong
because even at idling speeds, my gear shaft vibrates with small
amplitude vibrations which are unpleasent
and something may be wrong with the transmission.
This may be translating to the shimmy at higher speeds.
Any solutions/comments will be appreciated.
