Mine shakes pretty bad. The whole car vibrates/shakes. No rattles anymore really though. I've got got poly trans and tq arm mounts. It didn't really help much. Time for poly motor mounts. Except I don't wana do it right now.

If you wernt expecting it, my f-13 would shake the shifter out of your hand at a stop light. Maybe not that bad, but it shakes a little bit.

Shakes the poly motor mounts pretty good, whole car shakes, especially with the AC on. I love it. First night we started it up, the car was 3 car lengths from the house and it was shaking glasses in the cabinets in the house!
