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

Sounds like the same exact problem with my car, i have to put it in nutral at red lights too... and it shakes in reverse as well

that's where I'd put my $$

[soulshadow]

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.

do you know for sure that your mount is bad, or are you guessing?

EDIT: sorry, just saw your other topic, so yeah.....

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.

[lagos]

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

thanks alot tina!!!
its good to finally know what the shaking is. Now i just gotta go check mine.

p.s. nice ring you got there

[ILuvMyCelica95]

lol thanks, I still have to get a pic of the rear one, I will take more detailed pics of my mounts as well to make SURE that's the problem, althought the one under the air box looks AWFUL

[snadman]

I used to get it because when it was in Drive and I had the brakes on such as at a stop light waiting...the idle would be down lower than it would be if I were in Neutral/Park, or Reverse at the stop light. I have no idea why, but I had no issues and my motor mounts were solid.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Yeah, I checked when i was at a stop and my RPMs stay the same in drive nutral and reverse. I did look like and ass though stopping on my street and switching back and forth, lol. But i did notice that the car feels like it jumps foward when I go from nutral to drive. stupid celica, always has a problem, but how can you get mad at her, just look at those lights

[bufferdan]

the 5sfe is a shakey engine to begin with! They even vibrate alot with good motor mounts. I know in camry's, later year models have redesigned and added motor mounts for the problem.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

^ I have the 7a ;-) and after some crawling around under the car and having Manny & Erik both look at the rear mount while i went from Nutral to Drive we found out it was the rear mount. So i order one today. The shaking isn't THAT bad, but i don't want to leave my mount if it's bad and end up with a problem later on. so it's all good.
