Engine shakes while starting and open clutch in first gear. - 306__xrdt - 10-08-2013

Hi there Smile

Sometimes when starting the engine shakes and when i drive in first gear first time there is no shaking but when i stop and do it again the engine shakes and the whole car shakes badly from en engine hmm..
Could it be the lower engine mount that is going bad?
I adjustet the gear bolt back off the engine and the gearing is a bit bether now but after a month driving the gar problem is coming back..
I have reading some forum post about lower engine mount that is bad after many years off some oil on it and dust and salt/water (norway use salt on road on the winter and that is sh..t).
So what could it be?

Thanks for info and cheers!
I could post a video when starting and driving first gear iff that helps!

Can be any of the mounts, try rocking the engine by hand, if theres movement its definately a mount.

Mine needed the top left mount and gearbox which cured the movement

Doesn't seem to bad from underneath I'd say the top left mount as they move a lot and snap.

You can tell nothing from rocking it by hand. Put it in gear and apply load in 1st/reverse and you can really appreciate a knakkered bottom mount!

get a video like that ^ and get one with the engine running on idle - could just be dicky injctor below 1,100 rpm etc.
