I don’t know if it would be the flasher because if it were, then the turn signals would flash when I put the emergency signals on. And if it were the turn signal switch why would the little marker light flash (quickly) with no headlights but not flash when the headlights are on. I was thinking maybe corroded sockets but it wouldn’t explain why all of the lights work. I even triple checked all of the fuses.

The middle mount was the problem on my car and since I changed it i figured I would go for the upper and lower because I knew that they were on their way out. The vibration through the whole car was so bad, it sounded like there was no exhaust or something. It was WICKED loud. But I never checked the tranny mount. I’m guessing that it’s probably bad now but I’m not concerned about it. My car has little to no vibration at all. The way you did your tranny mount was exactly how I did my center mount (a little at a time). I would check the other mounts and adjust them how your supposed to and see if that helps your vibration.

My center mount was horrible. It really is a SOB to change. You barely have any clearance to work and it sucks having to jack the motor up and down repeatedly. But it was definitely worth the work… At least in my case. My car vibrated so much before that it sounded like an old Honda Civic with a can exhaust. After I replaced it the car was so quiet that when I took it for the first drive after replacing, I literally had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. I would look into it if I were you. Maybe you actually need one just as bad as you needed the others.

Oh yeah, and I replaced the master cylinder to stop a brake leak and now one of my wheel cylinders is leaking. I just put it up on here today.

No I never did the tranny mount and I couldn’t have been bothered to adjust the upper and lowers the way you’re supposed to. When I changed the center one, I made sure to draw the outline in sharpie around the old one like they did in the Haynes Manuel. Wondering if you did this to yours because I know it could cause vibration if the mount moves from it’s original spot. Did you make sure to install the new center mount back in the exact same spot where the old one came out?

My center mount is Anchor. Only because it was the most expensive. The lower and upper torque struts are from Autozone not sure what brand but probably Anchor also. I haven’t had any problems with the mounts. I’ve had them for about a year. The car is as quiet as ever and has no unexplained vibrations.

Sorry about that. I did have to replace them all. Lol. Completely forgot. I live in South Carolina. Theres nothing but rocky dirt roads and poorly maintained paved roads around where I live. The car could use some new struts but I’m not too worried about it.

Well this Neon was actually my mom’s. She bought it in 06 new. I bought it from her 2 years ago for $700. The car is great and a blast to drive. I really cannot complain about it at all. The only things mechanical that have broken in 8 years are the air duct going from the air box to the intake and the crankshaft position sensor. Really thats absolutely it for the cars 213k miles. Those miles are a good mix between highway and city miles. Just make sure you keep that maintenance up. If I don’t end up having to put a new engine in, I’m expecting at LEAST 250k. Let me say too, that I hit a deer going 55mph and ended up only replacing the hood and headlight. Thats pretty damn good too. It’s really an awesome car. Heres a pic of the car after the deer was hit, and then a pic i just took of the car. Can’t beat it for $700!
