SlickGT1 is on a distinguished road
Update. Fixed. Just came back from the Indy. Great props to these guys for a nice clean job. If anyone is looking for a good shop with good prices in Brooklyn ny, hit up Trio Auto.

So they did the following.
1. Replaced both engine mounts. Driver side was a bitch by the way, very little wiggle room.
2. Removed trans brace to inspect rear mount, good condition.
3. Removed belts to check all pulleys, and tensioners, tensioner bad
4. Alternator seems to be making that supercharger noise.
5. Cleaned entire engine to find source of oil leak.

$140 for 3 hours of work. $160 with tip. Not bad at all. But I know these guys for 14 years.

So holy shit. Car is smooth as silk again. No vibrations, no throttle delay.

That lurch. Yea it's practically non-existent now. I guess this, and trans pan 2x drop and fill, 1x filter, great stuff. Very happy those nasty ass vibrations are gone.

Drivers mount was destroyed. Oil leaked out of it. Pass side mount looked decent, mechs told me to keep it just in case. All in all good day.

Going back in 2 weeks to find leak. I hope.
