Sorry to bump an older thread. I just did these tonight what kind of vibrations are there. I only feel vibration at idle any other time its fine. I didn't do much of a "short drive" I went up and down the driveway at my parents and also went in reverse everything was "loose" torqued to specs.
I did notice my engine mount bolts didn't line back up but I am not driving this car to far. So far the mounts seem worth it. Also after everything I drove it for half an hour and the CEL came on(no idea on code until I get scanned tomorrow) This wouldn't have to do with those engine mount bolts would it? Everything ran fine the entire time, nothing changed or felt wrong.

your intake piping probably separated alittle bit and your probably throwing a code for the maf sensor. This happened to me from jacking up the engine to get the rear mount's bolt through the hole. Check you piping, re-tighten the clamp then clear the code...a$$uming this is your problem.

Fair warning
These instructions should have a BOLD PRINT saying DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR SPACERS IN
I was following the step by step instructions and it doesn't say anything about the spacers, I guess it was assumed. I forgot I even had the spacers to begin with.
The front trans mount bent the metal bracket, and I can't bend it back out.. So no spacers there and it seems to hold OK.
This is the aftermath of tightening the rear trans mount down with no spacers

The front transmission mount bracket just bent and I couldn't un-bend it to put the spacers back in> i'm sure it's okay the way it is.. I hope..
I have to drive to work and back the next few days. .. Should be okay without the rear tran mount if I take it easy ?

No.. No one will express or anything..
I drove it 2 miles today
I'm so nervous to drive..
It's a PITA!
It feels solid.. And i took it really REALLY easy when I did drive it. The front mount is on their good
and the mounts are fine
I just need the rear bracket.
