- I feel and hear a LOT more engine vibration in this car than in either my 2003 SE or my 2010 SE
- there is no noticeable drive-line clunk (for example, when taking off, or transitioning between on-throttle and off-throttle, or changing gear)
- I have tried prying the top (passenger side) motor mount as well as the lower rear mount (the one visible beneath the engine) and I don't see any obvious play, tearing, or leakage.
- I have not yet tried to get a look at the third motor mount

Does anyone think the excess engine vibration might be because of a bad upper motor mount? I think that one is the fluid-filled one, correct?

What are other symptoms that I should look for? Any other suggestions or obsevations?

Thanks,

I would be looking more into the driveline, c.v joints and so on. if not possibly a issue with the clutch.
