but not so bad in neutral, I have two busted Air cleaner mounts (hurry up phil) and my Motor mounts are so bad the tranny hits the tunnel when I turn left...soon to be fixed I promise... anyone wanna help me name my car?
anyway the best reason I can come up with is while under a load, but not up to smooth rpm, the motor reacts strongly to the broken parts. a 5 cylinder motor is going to be unbalanced by nature simply due to 360* not easilly divisable by 5 smoothly 72degrees is kinda uneven on a crankshaft, and diesel is pretty vibration prone as well. combine all this with worn out parts and under a load... noisy!
