Since finishing the build on my 3dr i havent been happy with the way the car dirves, the car seems to vibrate - all through the car, under acceleration. The gearstick isnt vibrating at all, you can just hear and feel the vibration quite servere through the floor and shell of the car, i even think you can hear it vibrating??!

Had a look today at the engine mounts, saw that i have a bloody gap between the arm coming off the block and the rubber mount itself - on both sides??! I could easlily get my car key between the mount and the arm with room to spare!! Obviously this isnt right my questions are:

1) Would this gapping on the mounts be the source of the real servere vibration through the car under acceleration

2) If the engine hasnt sat down on its mounts whats holding it? It must be the gearbox?? If i jump on the nuts on each engine mount and tighten them surely i will only be forcing the mounts up or engine down under pressure, surely the engine should sit on those mounts without gapping without the need to be forced onto them?? So do i slacken the gearbox mount off and see if the engine drops down or something?? Am hoping this is an easy fix

Any help is as usual much appreciated guys!
