Hit curb - weird idle in reverse
Monday, December 26, 2005 7:05 AM
Driving through my neighbourhood normally with the wifes Grand Am, roads were slushy and when I went around the bend car slid and I hit a curb fairly hard on the drivers side. Overall check everything looks fine, the hit popped the headlight a bit but that went back in fine.

Now the idle is a little rough. In drive its not bad at all, but when I put it in reverse it shakes real bad. So bad it almost feels like its gonna stall. As soon as you give a little gas it smooths out?

What would cause that? Everything ran great prior to the incident.

Any help is appreciated.

it sounds like 1 of the motor/trans mounts is stressed , and causing the vibration

id check all the mounts , and the sub frame , something shifted enough to put added stress on the mounts
