Hey guys.

Had my oil pan replaced. Now my engine shimmers a little at idle. Rough idle.

Any suggestions?

Ford Contour L4-122 2.0L DOHC SFI.
Manufactured: 10/98
 
If whoever did it fooled around with the transmission/engine mounts that could have done it. Check particularly the driver's side mount and the clearance between the bottom of the transmission and the subframe visible thru the front driver's wheel well.

I had the idle vibration happen with no visable damage to the driver's side mount; when I replaced it (DO remove the battery to do it and squirt all possible bolts/holes with WD40 or better for several days before you start work) the vibration went away.
