    This Question was a mistake. My actual post with detail is here: http://www.fixya.com/cars/t12401425-coul...

    The shaking only happens in reverse. Makes a bit of noise too. All of my own research points to a loose motor mount. Which motor mount would cause this? And how easy is it to replace?

    And only when I'm really stepping on the gas to get it to move up a slope - such as backing into my garage where it's above grade.

I read you other post. A motor or transmission mount may cause vibration throughthe whole car. However, it will not cause the delay you described in going into reverse. If you want to know if you have a bad motor mount all you have to do is get someone to help you and watch the motor mounts when you put the thing in gear (both forward and reverse) and brake-torque the engine a little. If the mount is broken, you will see the break when it comes up under load.

Otherwise, it sounds to me that you are describing an internal transmission problem.

My car is shaking when I put it in reverse and a little bit when in drive. Prior to this I changed out my plugs and wires and the car was acting up by backfiring and shaking violently.

I am thinking that with the back firing ans all ,you put the ht leads on in the wrong firing order and had 2 wires crossed
when replacing the new with the old you fixed the cross wires but reintroduced a bad plug or a bad ht lead.

2005 chrysler town and country when i start the van it shaking vibration hard in park and in reverse it and in neutral and in drive it perfect.it drives good on highways no shaking

try to increase the idle-rpm..
Example - at standstil condition when you start your van, have look at rpm... say 1000 or 1200 or 1500.. whatever it may be..
Keep idle-rpm a little bit higher, if previously it was 1200rpm then set it to 1500 rpm..
If the problem is solved then..
1) clean ur airfilter
2) check spark plug condition
good or bad... if bad then replace..
3) check fuel supply line, if it is damaged or folded

My 2000 Ford Taurus starts shaking only when I apply the breaks in reverse?

check you motor and transmission mounts. if one of them are wore out it will cause the car to do this. i just fixed a mazda with the exact some problem yesterday, but the situation was in reverse. runs like a champ now

2002 nissan altima started shaking and check engine light came on

Blinking means that the problem is so bad that it can damage the engine if you drive it. You need to get a code reader from an autoparts store and read the codes to see what the issue is.

I get shaking in. The wheel while slowing down to brake It makes. this loud noise when going in reverse and if I hit a pot hole in the street I get a knocking sound

Sounds like the rotors need to be turned...this and new brake pads should help the noise and the shaking.
The knocking sound may be a worn bushing on the idler arm.

Hope this helps...

CAMRY 89, V6, AUTO TRANS PROBLEM IS IDLE DROP SHAKING BAD WHEN ONLY PUT GEAR IN DRIVE, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND PARK NO PROBLEM, I HAVE CLEAN IAC VALVE WON'T GET BETTER, HOW FAR IAC VALE MOVE FROM OPEN TO...

If it were an IAC problem it would do it in reverse also. A bad engine mount can cause shaking in one direction but not the other, Also check your vacum hoses and lines.

When i get up to 40 miles an hour the car has something shaking but only when it accelerates Also today... when starting the car and putting it into reverse it starts revving on its own

The shaking when under acceleration i most likely a bad CV Joint/Axle Assembly.

The revving in reverse could be caused by a crackedvacuum hose that opens up and creates a vacuum leak when the engine twists while it is in reverse.
