Need a little advice
wuts up guys new on here and i was just wondering does everyone else have problems with grabbing traction and if so what can I do to help it, that and im not sure why but in the mornings sometimes when the car is cold i will start it up and the oil light will come on but it has enough oil in it cause i checked it does it have to do with the weather? Thanks for your help

Have you considered motor mounts for your "grabbing" problem?

How much do you want to spend? You can get AGP dogbone motor mounts for about $125..........Avid motor mounts will set you back almost $350.

If u don't want to spend much money at all you can get Prothane motor mount inserts.

inserts are a waste of time, just get full mounts.
as for the oil thing, it's probably the oil pressure switch. it happens sometimes. it's a cheap and easy thing to replace.

Avid is so expensive because it comes with upper, lower, and transmisson mount. Where dogbones come with upper and lower mount.
