Nah, engine heat isn't enough... not in North Bay, anyways. I had that with the sedan - ice around the trans mounts and such... in reverse, it was fine. In drive, you thought you were doing 80+ down a washboard. I had to get it sprayed out with hot water to remove all the ice that was jammed in there.
If anything, the heat from the engine and transmission made it worse as the stuff melted, moved inward and then refroze. It became immobile and so did everything the ice touched. Normal powertrain movement stopped and it was like having super-hard motor mounts.
