I had maybe 180k on my GS and the shaking was bugging me. The tachometer wasn’t jumping around so it seemed odd. Replace the motor and transmission mounts and when I started the engine I could barely tell the car was on

I think I'll look into replacing mine. 155,000 mi on my 98. By the state I got it in, I doubt they've ever been done. Car seems nice to me, but I did come from an old eclipse. It vibrates some at idle. Guess I'm use to that. But I suppose this kind of car shouldn't.

When I bought my 99 2 months ago it vibrated under the passanger seat the tires looked decent but when I changed them the ride was much better.

If the tires are new have them balanced.
