Ok. I had my engine and tranny mounts replaced yesterday. (Amongst other things). Car feels vastly improved. But I do notice a quite significant side to side shake at idle that I've not noticed before. Definately side to side, not up and down. This is with the idle control knob turned to slowest speed. If I turn the Idle control up about two thirds of the way it smooths out completely. It's possible this sideways shake was there all along and I just havent noticed it because of the generally awful shaking and buzzing going on with the old mounts. Before it was never really smooth even with the idle speed turned all the way up to max. My question is. Do others with brand new engine and tranny mounts also notice this sideways shake at idle or do I have something else wrong? I can also visually see the engine swaying slightly from side to side which it never did before. I'm assuming this is because the new rubber is allowing movement whereas before it was pretty much just smashing against the metal of the frame causing the whole car to vibrate.
