Vibrations at idle. Help!
I did a search on this and came up with a few possible solutions. Motor mounts, tranny mounts and diff mounts. How can I test each of these if they are really the one?
I've only got the vibration during idle. The shifter shakes when it does this. When the engine revs, it smooths out.
Mazdatrix sells engine and tranny mounts, but I cannot source diff mounts.
Thanks for the help.

I figure that if a tranny or motor mount is busted, putting in a working one will negate a lot of the vibration at idle. True, it won't be perfectly smooth, but atleast the motor or tranny isn't trying to hop itself out of my car.

I recently bought another Turbo II that had the same problem. Car shook during idle, but ran fine otherwise. (boost gauge didn't respond) I found two cracked vacuum hoses and once I replaced them, the car idled perfectly. Something to check, hope it helps.

You guys were right, and now I have to deal with returning the mounts to Mazdatrix (i never installed them).
My friend and I found a vacuum line totally disconnected (supposed to connect to the FPR). We plugged that back in and the idle improved. We then used carb cleaner and tested for gasket leaks and found that my middle intake manifold gasket is leaking at of the corners. That saves me some money.
