If Your SC430 Shakes When Starting Engine - You Need New Motor Mounts
I have recently had my motor mounts and transmission mount replaced.
Before the replacement, the car would shake quite noticeably when the engine was being started (maybe even shake 'violently'). I thought this was normal until I had my motor mounts and transmission mount replaced. Now when I start the engine the SC430 doesn't shake at all. The difference is profound.
Just a head's up. I'm not sure what the implications are of running with bad motor mounts for a long time, but I decided to get it done because my car would shake when idle and at stop lights.
Best of luck to all.

My car is in the shop right now for new motor mounts due to the start-up shimmying. It usually lasts until the idle calms down. They didn't say anything about the transmission mount though. Luckily it's being covered under the CPO warranty.

I'm scared. With the kind of crap I see people posting about on their SC430s going bad at such low mileage, makes me scared about the 2007 we just bought. It only has 12K miles on it, but I was kind of figuring it would be at least if not more reliable than my SC400 which currently has 320K miles on it and has never had a major repair.
Motor mounts went bad at 40Kish miles????? Seriously????
