seems normal to me..... vibrations can be bad but if i remeber right when i had stock motor mounts it vibrated a bit...... its really noticable in the auto's.... i wouldnt worry to much, but if ya got a warrenty take itin complain like hell and see if they do anything..... more then likly they are gunna tell you its normal tho.

new plugs and wires are never a bad idea tho, and they may have never been done (no the dealer would not have changed them) so that could smoth out your idle a bit!!

by the way, welcome to the site, i think youl find it the most informative place around for help fixing, modding, or just to have some fun!!

Thanks everyone. What i mean't by changing at dealer i meant the Auto tranny fluid because it needs to. I think they should have changed it knowing how sensitive the 41TE can be.

any vibration in the engine is a bad thing, don't get the wrong impression. however it does not mean the car is dieing, and in fact the car would probably run forever like that. In my opinion it should be fixed, it wreaks gas mileage and vehicle performance, that's usually enough to getanyone to fix it. You've determined something is wrong, don't just ignore it, but don't freak out about it because it's not a horrible problem.

I'm sure your right, but im gonna complain like there is no tomorrow about the trans because i needs to be done. I know what your thinking but right now i have no money or time. I bought a late model car because i did not wanna do that much other than drive. So i will complain and such. Also i think the vibration is just stiff mounts because from what i can tell the car is idleing perfectly normal with no RPM fluxs. Anyways thanks everyone!
