I recently got hard poly mounts so that increased my engine vibration a bit...but now its 20x worse... the engine doesn't appear to be misfiring at all...then again, my cel has been on for a while (precats) so I cant tell if a new one popped up recently i searched quite a bit and didnt find something close enough to my exact scenario to be satisfied with any one answer. as a side note, a couple of weeks ago i hit a...something...on the road and knocked off my alignment a bit...but i dont think that has anything to do with this becasue the increased vibration still occurs when the car is revving in neutral at a stop. 99 svt MTX BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION/DIFF...

Why is he changing the oil and filter?! Explain to me how that is going to help anything?! That is like the mentality of putting thicking oil in an engine with rod knock. It is a band aid at best. I'd say the roll resistors, but to be honest internet diagnosis is difficult. When you say far into the red...did you go past 8000rpm?! I doubt you did, but maybe you went way beyond that and floated a valve. Never heard of it on a duratec, but then again I've never heard of anyone smashing a gear like that. Just give us more specifics. Be thorough. Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

Never heard of it on a duratec, but then again I've never heard of anyone smashing a gear like that. Just give us more specifics. Be thorough. I was thinking the same thing as I read. I bet when you slammed into 2nd gear your engine/trannie shifted position really hard and tore the rubber on one of the engine mounts or roll resisters. Check them for cracking/rips or fluid leaking from them (as i think they are liquid filled). It does sound like a motor mount issue. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

That's funny. My 95 SE didn't have liquid filled mounts. None of them. Maybe it was only on some other models. I'll put holes in him!!

It is a band aid at best. ... Band aid is better than no aid. I supposed I could just say, put in a 3 L ($2500) without trying the cheap stuff ($15) first. If he overrevved the engine, and he suspects that caused an engine issue, the oil is probably broken down. Why leave "bad" oil in the engine while he is trying to diagnose the issue?

Rev the engine to see if you still have the vibration. If you donâ�?��?�t then it indicates a broken clutch hub or a bad input shaft bearing. If it still shakes, check for a loose spark plug, broken mounts and do a compression test (you could have floated a valve follower). Jeff have you fixed your ford lately?
