My car has recently starting having a vibration upon first moving from a parked position. It happens both in forward and reverse. It has an automatic transmission (just rebuilt, but mechanic indicates this is not related). Once I start moving, it seems to dissipate until the next time I park the car (obviously with e-brake applied), then it happens again. I had the brakes checked; no issue there that they could find. I'm really puzzled with this one.

POSSIBLY DETERIORATED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS?

ON OTHER VEHICLES, I'VE SEEN THE MOUNTING BOLTS REAL LOOSE. OR EVEN GONE!

MAYBE WITH THE HOOD UP, AND ANOTHER DRIVER IN THE COCKPIT. YOU CAN WATCH THE TORQUE ACTION OF THE ENGINE AS YOU WALK BESIDE IT

Thanks for the thought; interesting because it seemed to have started right after I had the transmission rebuilt. Will do what you suggest, and then if it looks to be the case I will be having a discussion with the transmission shop. Keep you posted.
