Ok, I need advice from people with "good" SDL's. How much engine vibration should you feel inside the car? When I shut my car off I feel a pretty large shake as the engine stops, on the highway I can feel it vibrating while I'm pushing the throttle peddle, and in my seat. Around 3k rpm. At idle it doesn't vibrate to much. I'm thinking my engine mounts are shot, with the engine off if I push it back and forth I can here a clunk or a click, not really loud. How dificult of a job is this?

Sounds like bad engine shocks and possible mounts.

FastLane:

080-15473 Engine Shock Mount Kit IN STOCK


A7000-16026 Engine Mount


I would check the mounts and if no issue is found; replace the engine shocks.

Thanks whunter thats what I thought, when I get the skipping fixed, new engine mounts and shocks are next. Than I'll do the trans mount and diff mount, while I'm under there I'll change the original flex discs.

Then maybe it will start to "feel" more like a Mercedes.
