91 Camry... More on vibration problem when put in gear

This post is a continuation of an earlier one with added information...



I have a 91 Camry LE with 187k miles. It has automatic transmission. Recently, I noticed that it vibrates noticeably when I put it into gear. The vibration is about the same whether I have the ac on or not. Also, the rpm's remain about the same (about 700 rpm)



The vibration is accompanied by a low rumbling sound when in gear. Both the vibration and rumbling sound disappear when I put it into neutral. Today I also discovered that the vibration is very much less when it is placed into neutral. I would appreciate some thoughts as to what this could be?



Thanks, Al Kondo


Loose torque converter? Is there any trans fluid leak?

If you haven't replaced the engine mount near the front of the engine (timing belt cover area) yet, then that is 99% the likely culprit on your Camry.

Check fluid level and motor mounts.
