5-spd 99 GT -
When I turn it on the car shakes not too rough and for only like a second but, it is definitely noticeable. Same type of shake when I turn the car off. Had the battery changed a couple months ago and getting the spark plugs changed this week --> not sure it will make a difference. Any ideas what it may be, starter, alternator? Thanks in advance. |

Starter and alternator are not likely causes. Any vibrations at idle or if you rev the engine up? It sounds like a motor mount issue.

Your rear mount is bad, probably the front now too.

thanks a lot. How much do front and rear mounts go for? is it better to source from a junkyard or should I order new ones from Toyota? how difficult is installation?
getting springs and shocks installed this week but, now I'm debating if I should get the motormounts and do it all in one shot. yes - there is slight vibration at idle and when shifting into 1st/2nd. that's it |

$40-50 apiece new, not bad at all. I think they're $50 from Toyota and $40 from Rock Auto.
