Gearbox overhaul also make the car more smooth to accelerate but cost over 1k so unless yours is failing just leave it alone.

Personally I hope that changing the engine mount could make my car more responsive but I can't find any connections / correlations between engine mounting and responsiveness ??  ;D

Just curious if someone actually knows why changing engine mounting can make it more responsive.. as I was always thinking changing engine mount just for the comfort of the ride.

rongshu:
I guess the transmission is connected to the engine. So if the engine vibrates less, then the connection between engine and gear box will be more engaged?

changed engine mounting for <$400, car feels like brand new because it feels buttery smooth until something else is vibrating -_-''

Mind sharing how did you clean your mass air flow sensor?

Does your vibration exactly like what I have described in the 3rd post ?
I think skullcap did mentioned that what is happening to me is same like what he experienced...

I do find it a bit weird as the vibration only comes on when the rpm hits near 600..

For the cleaning of mass air flow sensor, you can watch these 2 videos,

Steps :
1. Identify the sensor location
2. Remove the electrical plug
3. Remove 2 screws
4. Remove sensor
5. Spray the sensor with CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner
6. Be careful not to spray too much, you will get water condensation as it's very cold liquid
7. Let it dry and box up.

and the bottle that he uses is CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner can be bought for SGD 25.
There are many warnings saying that we must use exactly this cleaner due to it's quick drying effect, quite similar to contact cleaner.

After cleaning, you might have some impact. In my case, before cleaning the car's acceleration is very jerky / uncertain. You might be stepping the gas a lot but you won't know when it accelerates fast. And when it accelerates fast then you start to release and you get the jerky movements.
This situation is gone directly after my cleaning. It feels very smooth.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you require more info on this.
