Transmission and Drivetrain: Service and Repair

NOTE: An abnormal vibration can be caused by a component, such as an engine or transaxle support insulator mount, which is acting in a rigid manner because of a distorted or twisted mounting position. As a result, the support insulator does not absorb vibrations as it should.

1. Loosen the engine insulator mounting bolts three turns.
2. START the engine and shift into Drive.
3. While the tires are in contact with the ground, rock the vehicle back and forth.
4. Shift back into Neutral (N) and shut OFF the engine. Retighten the engine insulator mounting bolts,
