Car Shakes In Reverse - Mason - 12-18-2007
So for some reason today my car seems to shake really bad while reversing. It does it a little in first gear to but im not loosing speed as a result as far as I can tell.
Im also getting a good bump from under then engine when the car first starts to.
This if my first Stick shift car so any ideas?

Ok this may sound weird but do you have a lot of snow build up in your rims and wheal wells? I had the same thing I had to park the car inside overnight

Ice and snOw on the iNside of the rims.
Could also be a broken engine mount.

I did have lots of snow up in the CV arms untill about 10 min ago. Went to the car wash and blasted it out. It helped a bit.

Ice on the motor mounts and tranny mounts. Happened to me with the SPI, comes from blasting through too many drifts. If you got that much on the lower control arms, I guarantee there's lots more where that came from that you can't see right now.
Let 'er thaw out. You'll be fine. :)
