STUPID SHAKING!!!!!, can someone please help Options

[celicaGT96]

My car has always done this since the day I bought it.
Ive read lots of post but none are exactly like my problem.
Anyways, my car shakes when Im at a stop. When i turn my car on its fine but as soon as i put in reverse or drive it starts shaking. whenever im at a light i put it in nutral and the shaking stops ( i have to do this so it doesnt shake ) but as soon as i start driving it goes away.
i thought it might be idaling to low at around 700-800 rpms and even bought a throttle positioning sensor but no difference.

p.s. it usually shakes more in reverse than drive, also i already tried adjusting the throttle cable.......please help

First of all, I was lookin at yer profile, and DAMN!! That is a nice blue, much props to ya bro. As for your shaking problem, you could have some transmission problem or some problem related to your transmission.

How hard does it shake?

If it is just vibration that is normal for an auto, my car used to do that too. If its alot its probably an engine mount.

sounds like you need to replace your motor mounts

that's where I'd put my $$

My engine does that too and my rear motor mount is bad. I live with it everyday, cause Im poor and can't mod my car any further. I owe like 16K in college loans with an APR of 15%. and its only my 3rd year.

this sux, I guess I need to replace my mounts too now, DANG this sux!!!
Since so many ppl on here need to do this, if u find a cheap deal on mounts please tell!!!.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Well guys I went under the car today and it's a good thing I did...

this one wasnt so bad:




Then i took out my air box to check the one under that... and tadaaa



and that would be the cause of all my shaking.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

and yeah tomorrow im going to check the rear one just in case thats not the problem, and get a better look at the last one.

if u want a really cheap and easy fix... clean those mouts really well..soap, water, brake parts cleanrer. then buy some PLurethane in a tube and shoot it in there with a caulk gun. then let the car sit for about 4 days. the stuff cost about 4$ in any hardware store.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

If she wasn't my daily that might work but i can not have a car for 4 days

I've heard alot about people using that in the mounts
