My car shakes uncontrollably when in drive and stopped but not in neutral or when I go.?

My car started getting a small vibration (2003 Ford Zx2) which is now an uncontrollable vibration. It's so bad it shakes the steering wheel and side mirrors. Depending on how the car is angled, it sounds like at times it's under the hood and other times it's in the trunk. The other things I've noticed is it's sometimes hard to put it in reverse. Feels like when I try and shift it, I have to pull harder. Then it makes a small 'clunk' sound when it is fully in reverse. If I'm at stop lights, I will put the car in neutral 'cause the vibration is so loud and uncontrollable. This may be an unrelated thing- but on a few occasions it will go to switch to second and rev but not change. If I take my foot off the gas and then accelerate again it's fine. This is rare though. Maybe once every few weeks. My main concern is the vibration. I took it to one mechanic who said all my motor mounts were bad and then took it to another who said it was a manufacturer defect. That the way the engine was assembled is what causes it and there is nothing I can do to fix it. Now, I don't want to believe that considering the car didn't do it when I first got it. I also- don't want to pay $400 to replace all the motor mounts if that's not the case either. Any help would be appreciated.My car shakes uncontrollably when in drive and stopped but not in neutral or when I go.?
first thing i can think of is motor mounts. it'll make your transmission sit off a little bit. which is why it would be hard to get it into reverse sometimes.



but then again now that you mention the manufacturer defect it makes sense because honestly my friend had an 04 zx3 that did the same thing.



i suggest not buying a ford next time. no offense :pMy car shakes uncontrollably when in drive and stopped but not in neutral or when I go.?

possible bent axle or bent or broken rim. lug nuts may be loose on wheels. but most likely, its your motor mounts. the sound in rear of car prolly ur exhaust shaking, it is connected to the motor.My car shakes uncontrollably when in drive and stopped but not in neutral or when I go.?
i'm betting on the clutch and/or the transmission, i am assuming you have a standard transmission, and i really hope that you dont drive with you feet over the clutch pedal, because if you do you screwed your clutch making it to dont work when you shift gears, causing the gears to %26quot;clunk%26quot; and the irregular gears now create a vibration, that, however would be because of the clutch

if youi know what it is please mail me brunogarciacano@hotmail.com
