I have one major concern that needs addressing. I’ve done a bit of a service on the car so far: spark plugs, rocker cover gasket and spark plug seals, new motor oil and filter, new transmission fluid. I will do the transfer case and front and rear diff fluids on the weekend as well as power steering fluid and coolant flush. My concern is, when I turn the car on it idles pretty nicely while the car is in ‘park’. Once I shift into drive the whole car vibrates until I take off, after which it settles down. Once I stop again, at the lights or whatever, the vibration comes back. Would I be right in thinking it may be dodgy engine and/or gearbox mounts? Or could it be something much worse? I’m trying to learn and fix as much as I can before I take it to get a roady before rego and get slogged a small fortune to fix lots of little niggles.Thanks guys!

Cheap and easy enough to swap out, even in the driveway.
