Good luck and I hope this works for anyone who tries it!

Regarding Technical Service Bulletin # 03-15-15
I went to the local Ford Dealer today, to ask about doing this TSB work. (basically repositioning the engine in my 2002 SPI 4 door Escort), in an effort to reduce the AWFUL Idle Vibration. I just bought the car last Nov, 2006, with 59,000 miles on it.
Anyway, the Ford Service guy gave me NO encouragement AT ALL, that the procedure would help at all to reduce the nasty Idle Vibration. MOST DISCOURAGING! So, the cost would be somewhere between $250, and $300 he said.
So my question to you nice people is: has anyone on this forum ever had the procedure done to their Escort, and DID IT HELP the terrible Idle Vibration? (you can sometimes see the steering wheel shaking pretty violently).
I don't have any money to waste, but I sure would like to get this vibration (shaking) improved!
Thanks for any comments.
