That's even the norm for my 5s auto. That's just how it is. All my mounts are good and it still vibrates that much.

To echo Ricochet, that's not mount-associated, unless my mounts are shot as well. The problem-solver is to shift into neutral when sitting at idle waiting to move. Less taxing on yer brakes as well...

the 4a front mount is pretty weak, I had a bad one in my 88 gts rolla, I was going to swap it with my
91 parts car, but it was bad too. I have a high comp 4AGE out of a 91 gts with ecu when you decide to swap.lol

If you never changed them and the millage on your car is up there, than chances are your mounts are shot.
I mean, if you think about it...no new automatic car does this. People would probably not buy them at the dealer, thinking something was really wrong if they did. The problem could also be caused by too low of an idle speed, but since this car has no tach, its hard to tell.

I have 3 A series engine cars, and all 3 front mounts were or are bad including my celica with 110k on it.
A guy told me you can wrap it with a radiator hose the same diameter for a cheap fix but I haven't tried it.
All mine are manual so it doesn't bother me that much.

True. I base solid mounts on the fact that I get no ill sounds or movement at any other point in driving, and I've only 100k miles. Still, could be shot. I should actually be in that area within a few months, so I'll check them out while I'm down there. For me, there is indeed also an accompanying drop in idle revs.
