    So i have a 2003 gp gtp motor has 19,000mi. and the tranny has 10,000mi. on them. I have a bad vibration under moderate to hard engine loads. It feels like the motor is on the firewall and you can also hear it. i am worried i checked all the motor mounts they are good and i power braked it and the motor moves like two inches. please help to keep me from pulling out my hair.

    Sure the mounts aren't bad...pretty easy to miss it since they are filled with fluid...one might have leaked out. That...and you could try checking the dog bone mounts too to see if they cracked or rotted...just a thought.

    i checked the axles and one was bent dont know how. so i replaced that and the wheel bearings cus i made the ebay mistake and they lasted 6 months and were grinding. But now i have a awsome job so i am going to do the other axle and mounts to see if that fixes it. if not im throwing parts at it cus the body does have 140,000.

    Not sure how long you've been having the problems..

    Obviously work was done with the engine and trans, just wondering if you checked the mounts underneath. If you have been having problems since you worked on it, you might want to look around where you were working, check the lower mounts and trans mount.
