When I first got my van the VW Jedi told me that almost every one that he'd worked on had a broken motor mount on the driver's side... mine is. The engine doesn't appear to move when looking at it, but if I "bench" it from below I can see it. I've also had a transmission mount on which the forward rubber was breaking down. Perhaps the drivetrain is shifting slightly when you let off the gas. Cya, Robert '87 & '86 Auto GLs |
