    Hi everyone. Did my best to search but there doesn’t seem to be anything specific. My 430 seems to have a very bad vibration at idle that can be felt through the cabin shakes the seats and steering wheel. I’ve also had to re tighten my airbox lit bolts twice as they’ve shaken lose. Shifting appears to be fine and the car operates perfectly at all other RPM but idle, no CEL so doubt a misfire. Thoughts? I was going to throw some engine mounts at it just as maintenance as the vehicle has 38000kms now.

    I had the same problem on my 2006 F430 Spider.

    Replacing engine motor mounts and transmission mount resolved most of it. All OE mounts were torn and worn out.

    I understand the gearbox mount needs a special extractor to get it out and it is not easy, hill engineering sell them.

    That is true and I believe I have a DIY post here on that project.
