Well, my 95 GS-T seems to shake A LOT when going into first gear, or reverse.

On first gear when I start slipping the clutch, it starts shaking. Not too bad because I usually ride it quick but if I do it slowly it starts shaking pretty bad. On reverse it's a nightmare. The whole freaking car shakes violently as I attempt to ease off the clutch. So it's I either drop the clutch, or withstand the earthquake like reverse motion.

All the motormounts on the car are bolted on right so I don't know what could cause this. I made sure the crossmember was on tight too and no luck.


Any idea's?
 
Your motor mounts can still be broken no matter how good they are bolted on there. Are you having any problems with getting into gear for 1st and reverse?

Yeah I am. If I happen to press the clutch and shift into first right away, it always grinds. I have to press the clutch, and wait about half a second to a second to smoothly shift into first.

Same applys for going into 2->3 gear. As for reverse, it sometimes doesn't want to shift into it unless I play with it. And as I said before, then I ride the clutch on reverse, it's the worst shaking ever and it's awful to hear.
