BAD Vibration from a stop
I have a bad vibration in the car when starting from a stop. I replaced the tranny mount with an ES poly one already. I have pulled down the tranny and the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel looks fine (no oil/broken clutch springs and the flywheel is not warped or tempered)

Could my motor mounts be the problem?? How do I check to see if they are OK?
I can move the engine by pulling on it without a lot of force, is this bad?

Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks
Dale

Same problem here. New mounts and clutch. Only happens after the car is warm. From a stop, 1st and reverse.

Re: BAD Vibration from a stop
im having the same issue, it isnt exactly from a stop though, its as speed gets higher, i think the flywheel is blued really bad, but motor and tranny mounts play in with this dont they?

Sounds like our problems are for different reasons

My motor mounts were so bad that if I revved the motor, the motor would move. Sound familiar?
