weird idle after transmission replacement
Last night when i was sitting in my car in front of 7-11 waiting for my frd to pick up some drinks, i noticed a something weird when my car is idling; i could feel the entire car rattling slightly, kinda like something inside the transmission or engine was imbalanced.
I drive an automatic, and it was probably idling at 500rpm. I was involved in an accident a year or so ago, and it was a $9k repair... the transmission was replaced, and so were control arm and struts.
I don't expect someone to know exactly what im talking about since its not a really general issue, but if you know how i can fix it... YOU ARE GOD!
I'm also asking for a favor.
I might want to sell my lancer, so i'd like to find out what title my car holds. Can anyone run carfax for me?
sad becuz i just slapped on rrm's axleback last week... and a light weight crank pulley sitting at my desk...

First off, what insurance company let you repair the car and not total it @ $9k+ worth of damage? The car I'm 100% sure wasn't worth that at that pt in time.
Second, to your problem...it would be shaking/rattling badly because it's idling so low! Normal is 700-800 minimum. Adjust the idle upwards to start with.
