There can be so many things.
Be specific. What shake? Steering, engine, whole car, pedal, etc...

put some cream and choc chips in it

The shaking come froms the engine, however its not the mounts. It only does this when i brake, the shaking seems to go away temporarily when i press the gas or when i just fill the tank.

ok, do this, get it running and open the hood and see if the motor sits pretty much still or has a steady rock to it

I have tried that, when i first start it has a bit of a shake, but after a while it goes away and becomes silent. Then when i put it in 1st gear it starts although not that much, its most noticable when i brake.

does it shake when you are coming to a stop or sitting still, is it auto?

WhiteCelicaGTS · 10-06-2005, 07:41 PM

its right before i come to a stop, its manual.

oh one more thing i went for a drive right now and the vibrating also occurs when i turn the steering wheel. i dont maybe this bit of info can help me out.

fredk · 10-06-2005, 08:49 PM

does it vibrate like a tire balance?

WhiteCelicaGTS · 10-07-2005, 05:08 PM

i dont think it has anything to do with the tires, sometimes it does it with the car not moving.

Does RPM drop when it shakes?

WhiteCelicaGTS · 10-07-2005, 05:29 PM

nope, its just the shakes.

fredk · 10-07-2005, 05:54 PM

come on guy, were trying to help ya out here, is it a vibration or just a shake, how fast is it?

WhiteCelicaGTS · 10-07-2005, 06:39 PM

hah whats the difference between a vibration and a shake? if i had to say i would say its somewhat like a vibration. It only happens when i am braking, or when its idling.
