When you shift into reverse there is a violent shaking with your foot on the brake. Anyone know what is causing this, I can presume it is tranny related. Any similiar experiences?

 

only in the pedal or is it the whole car? caus if its teh whole car its most likely the front torque rod

 

It is in the entire car. From the steering wheel to the seats. What is the front torque rod? Never heard of such a part. Hopefully it is not embedded within the tranny somewhere

OR

Is this an external part like a transmission mount that connects from the tranny to the chasis?

 

I would bet the rear tranny mount is broken. This will cause the vibration you are speaking of.

 

you see that big dogbone looking mount right in front of the rad thats the front torque rod. vibration is either front or back mount I changed my front and it eliminated about 80% of the vibration

 

I looked at the front mount a few minutes ago actually it looks pretty solid. What sort of if any play should I see from it? It felt pretty sturdy etc. Not loose or anything like that. I do not know much about worn mounts from motor to transmission, never had a problem with any car I have ever owned. Until now I guess

 

What types of mods do you guys have that you are bending the torque rod?

 

uhh they dont bend the rubber insdie wears out, if th efront one looks ok then its the rear one the rear ones kinda expensive
