97 astro, vibrations

[ese]

Hello everyone. Im having some issues with a 97 2WD. As soon as i turn it over u can feel a vibration, mostly on the steering wheel. If it sits and idle's you can feel it, its enough to shake the entire interior and the glove compartment is making noise from the rattle. Once I put it in gear i get a slight rumble upto about 10mph, then nothing smooth sailing from there. Theres no vibration while moving whatsover only when standing still or barely taking off. Any ideas what might be the cause?

Welcome to the forum!

The symptoms you're describing could be caused by a worn motor mount, (there are 2), a worn transmission mount, (there is 1), or possibly the exhaust system is touching the body, or frame. Any one of these will cause a "tip in" "moan", "vibration" or "harshness" throughout the vehicle at varied engine RPM. Hope this helps.

Hey thanks I thought it might be the motor mount I was looking at them a minute ago they seem okay but i'll double check upclose. Thanks for the info on the tranny mount and the exhaust i'll take a look at those today.
