Default Vibration

Hey Guys, I have this vibration @ idle that vibrates the whole car, not so bad at about 1050RPM, when put into drive (yes it is an automatic) and the rpm drops to about 900RPM it really gets worse. I just replaced belts making sure that balance shaft rollers were on there marks. I also replaced the motor mounts upgrading to turbo mounts, all with no improvement. Anyone have any suggestions?

Search Auto Damper (Dampner). Also, 'A/T Damper removal' by Shawn944.

It's a rubber flex disk pretty much where the clutch would be on an automatic. Cost and time is about the same as doing a clutch.

I had the same issue, vibration at idle, goes away with revs, but shouldn't look like this:

Not the damper, sounds like another bushing.

check your injectors for corosion, clean them if you do. your idle could also be off, you might have to change it. but the chances of it being the dampner is very high.
