Car shakes when put in drive (motormounts)??
I tried searching and have had no luck. Anyways, ever since I got my protege I noticed a little problem. The steering wheel/column vibrates horribly when I put the car in drive. Once I put it in park (no load) it goes away. Does this sound like a bum motor mount? The car has 70,000 miles.
If it is a motor mount, it looks fairly easy to remove. My friend's mom's car (Toyota Camry) had this same problem and it ended up being a shot motor mount. What do you guys think? Is this a common problem on these cars?
Thanks in advance

It's actually fine once I start driving, but when I have my foot on the brake and and kick it down into 2nd it vibrates bad, put it back into park its smooth as anything...then when I drive away it seems ok. I guess it could really be both. How much of a PITA is the tranny mount?

I'd check your motor mounts. And this "clunk" that you mention. Is it a hard "hit", or just kind of a "bump" when the transmission engages? What's your idle speed when you're in park AND in drive (car stopped)?
