Default Can anyone help please? Shaking issue

I bought an 07 v6 accord back in april, everything as fine then.

Recently I started to feel that the car shakes gently but noticeably through the seat when I accelerate through 20 mph. It goes away when I reach higher speeds. The steering wheel doesn't shake or vibrate, and there's no noise when the car shakes. Front two tires are 5 months old and rear two tires are brand new.

What are the probable root cause?

Thanks.

Three possibilities:
  1. Bent wheel
  2. Bent axle
  3. Failing CV joint in axle

Swap your wheels around to see whether it feels like it moved to a different corner.

I actually went to a shop and had those checked out. Those parts are In great condition.

A friend pointed out it might be the transmission's problem. Honestly that's what I guessed to be the cause at the first place.

But the transmission is not giving any malfunction code. I read cases of people encountering the same problem, and there're two that replaced the transmission and fixed the problem.

I highly doubt changing the transmission will eliminate a shaking issue.

So if it's not anything bent, nor cv joints and engine mounts, what's your next best suspect?
