Thread: changed engine mountings, still vibration is there!

What is the support you are talking about? I don't really get you 'cool'. Can you please elaborate more on this? And Tim, I have changed the gear mounting twice, still same problem.

engine support/engine mount, transmission support/transmission mounting body support/body mounting etc....

Quote: Considering that we are talking about in both cases early W140's with the older transmission could it be a vacuum line leak? That would perhaps give a symptom such as this. My understanding of the engine mounts being shot is that with the car in "D" stopped at a light for example you should feel the vibration not only in "P" or "N". vacuum line leak somewhere inside of the...

i had the same problem with my car... it was the sub frame mountings that were worn.... i changed the engine and transmission mounts prior but to no avail....

Hi i can almost bet its the transmission mount they give a heap of harsh vibration problems try it Tim

I think you might look at WHY your engine is vibrating? In P or N It would sugest a different problem..do you see the engine move if you look at it in P.. and if you put it in N (with foot brake on) when you put your hand on it can you feel it, is it only at low revs..I wonder if you have ignition problem. Crank-cam sensor?

However, there is no vibrations at steering wheel and there is no rithmical shivering of the engine. The shivering occurrs only occasionaly, let's say in intervals from 2 to 10 seconds, and it is barely noticeable. rotors, caps, plugs, plug...

i had a similar issue for about 6 months until my check engine light came on, not having the access to the ODB reader i replaced the spark plugs, that weren't bad at all, and I also replaced all ignition coils because i had some laying around here (i purchased them cheaply in advance on huge sale back in the days), i know ignition coils go weak every 100K (on all my cars), so on my s500 at 105K, after replacing all plugs and all coils the...
