    Default vs v6 idle vibration

    guy's my calais has a vibration that is felt in cabin at idle in drive(around 700rpm on the tach) i sort of annoys me and i know it shouldnt be there. when i put the tranny into park the rev's raise a little and the problem is better but still feels grindy through the floor/seat's. when driving the car is very smooth indeed and no problem. any thought's? harmonic balancer??

    also when the engine is cold when going form drive to park at traffic light's the idle will go below 700 at time's for a very brief period then catches itself back up to the 700. thought's

    I would put my money on either engine or trans mounts (maybe even both, my subaru had both shot and the vibration was shocking)

    I had a similar problem in my old vg, when the chain had been changed the idler wasn't put back on correctly.
    idled too low hence the vibrations and low revs. might be worth a look

    we have looked at the engine mounts already and my supposed mate(mechanic) said they are stuffed i looked also and agreed. just wasnt happy with the 260 install price. fingers crossed this fixes it.
    he know's im a bargain hunter/ebay hound/treade electrician, i rarely get shafted that's for sure.
