Engine mounts are flying according to one shop. They're not broken and the rubber definitely doesn't look bad. Theres no bushings on the trans mounts, so you'll feel every combustion event from the engine in the stick. The mount is a long aluminum bar that holds the trans to the frame and...

So I've complained about unusually excessive vibrations in my 2019 Fiat 124 Spider. I recently replaced the flywheel and the clutch disc and pressure plate. Helped a good amount, by there's still some there. Especially in the shifter. Now, the only bushings the whole exhaust system has is one...

my car has a MAP sensor, no MAF. Don't know much of a difference it is though.

Man, I think I'll just stick with those paper/cotton STP and WIX filters if oil filters are need to be scrubbed then reoiled. I live in a dusty area, and I was told to use an oil filter.

One thing I'm not sure about with these performance washable filters is something having to do with oiling them.

So I'm about to change my air filter on my 2019 Fiat 124 Spider, and was looking at a K&N performance filter. But i've seen lots of different opinions on what to use. Some say only use OEM filters, since mopar is saying that their filter is made specifically for this car, others are saying some...

So I've made a few posts here about my 2019 Fiat 124 Spider. It's got 34k miles on it. I've noticed for a maybe half a year that the pulley is wobbly. Just a little. Now, it used to be worse, but isn't as bad. I read that it's not supposed to be wobbly at all, but it's just a little bit. Doesn't...

Saying that I can put that spec of oil in?

So kinda off topic, One issue that may be is the harmonic balancer. The thing has 34k miles on it and the crankshaft pulley is a little wobbly. Was worse before but hasn't been as bad. Maybe the dampers have already went bad and it's making the engine vibrate more. Mounts are def okay. I did...

Does it at idle. I can feel it's perfectly smooth moving.

Probably. Because when I got it I never noticed any kind of noticeable vibration.

Drive shaft balance isn't an issue. It so does is at idle. I do have aftermarket clutch and pressure plate, but I got the one that's closest to the OEM clutch.

Did the motor mount test, it's all good. The trans mount is an aluminum bar holding the rear of the trans to the frame and differential. I guess this is just a thing with rear drive trans. That aluminum bar doesn't have any bushings, but I wonder if any could be added...

I got the quart bagged ones at AutoZone.

I replaced it with the OEM dual Had a shop do a test on the engine mounts. All okay, and the trans has a month, but it's not dampened. Just a long aluminum bar that goes from the back of the trans to the differential and frame. Which I hope it's still okay cause it's only got 34k miles on it.
