I just installed all the motor mounts and the automatic tranny inserts and my motor doesnt move but it feels like im riding in my camaro somebody told me that normal but i dont think its suppose to be like that just trying to find out if it is suppose to be like that or if there is something somewhere else

 

camaro? explain.. do you feel like white trash like you have a mullet..just kiddin but is it a jerkin or what is it?

 

lol thats funny but it just shakes like it has a v8 in it im used to it with my camaro but not with a neon lol..?and i replaced the motor mount that was really shot and installed the inserts so i dont know why it the car would shake still

 

Did you replace all three with new inserts, or just the one you said was bad? Also, is your car a MTX? If so, did you check the torque damper strut to see if it needs replacing? Finally, does the car shake and you feel it in the steering wheel as you drive? If so, then you may need to start checking your steering components - tie rod ends, etc.

 

its a auto and yes i did replace all 3 inserts thats what the weird thing is and i just replaced the inner and outer tie rod ends on both sides but i feel it all the time

 

Then the next thing to check is the balance and roundness of the tires. A tire can be in balance, but have a flat spot (or a hump). Sometimes when a tire is out of round and not too badly, they shave the tire to fix it, then rebalance it.

Also, it is possible that your rotors are slightly warped and can be ground down a little to remove any humps that may be there.

If these don't end up being the problem, then start looking at the rack and pinion unit to see if there is excessive slop which can manifest as shaking.

Finally, you may need to replace either the struts along with the strut base to remove any final steering component from the list.

If this were an older style car and not a unibody, I would say to check the body to frame dampers, but that is not an issue for Neons.

 

the car does it while it is standing still as well and doesnt change and it has brand new rotors and pads

 

well considering that the mounts that hold a shaking motor to the unibody are now solid or semisolid could be moving the shake to the cabin... DING! .. jus sayin sounds like a good excuse but if you do find a problem id like to know cause im also confused but sounds like the motor mounts being solid is whats doin it.

 

thats what i was thinking being that i took the shaking out of the engine its really stiff now the motor wont tip back like it used to before i replaced the mounts and installed inserts thanks for the info tho

 

I've got inserts in mine. They stiffen up the rubber in the mounts and the vibration from the engine and tranny are more easily transferred to the body and cabin. Nothing you can do other than remove them if you don't like it.
