That's it, I am now COMPLETLY lost

Cradle is fine. Engine and trans mounts are 10k miles old. Car vibrates like a bitch and sounds horrible at idle, creaks when I begin accelerating or brake suddenly. When you put it in drive/reverse it creaks like hell and the whole engine pulls back and snaps back forward, bringing the tranny and exhaust with it. The engine is offset to the passenger side, not just a little bit either (trying to get the dogbones back on after spark plug swap was NOT fun). I can't figure it out, noone on GPF has any clue, I've had a few friends look at it...nothing, and I even took it to a shop today and they were clueless. But then again they couldn't find my PCV valve either so they were just fuckin retarded. I did go with the cheap ass rockauto mounts, so maybe they collapsed already? I doubt it but you never know I guess. Ugh. It's loud/rough enough now where I don't even want to drive it anymore, if I didn't have to go to work it would be parked. ANY ideas would be appreciated.

There's always a fix to everything, finding it isn't easy, but there's a solution. My advice for us to help is try and get a picture/vid of all the mounts, if there's any deformation I'm 100% sure james (turbochargedsbcgoofballweirdo) will find it. If we see a vid of the engine moving we also might be able to tell you what mount you might have "missed" or is screwed up, ect. My guess just tossing it out there is the motor mount on the passenger side is either not there, loose, or all smashed up already.

Alright thanks I'll go outside in a few and grab a video.

Sounds like a PITA, but hang in there man! You'll find it and get it patched up.

I'd bet motor mount and trans mount. Really the only thing that could cause your issues.

Good luck! Cars can suck big time but it's generally worth it in the end

Seen this happen before with a "solid" mount

Did you get it aligned after you replaced the motor and or trans mounts?

My Manual SHO vibrated like a bitch after I did my subframe mounts, got it aligned *the subframe*, and that was that.

 

[Fish]

Im sure the SHO's Flux Capacitor didnt cause any issues. Cause it is so uber ya know.

 

[GTwolf]

No I didn't get it aligned, but that wouldn't cause the engine to pull and snap like it is.
