I hae an 02 gs300. Probaly for about a month now as I just picked it up at auction. Only has 76k milesand body and interior in pretty mint condition. I've already done a bunch of maintenance stuff such and cosmetic stuff as. New AEM cone air filter add on , synthetic oil change, tranny pan drain and fill . Replaced serpentine belt , new brake pads and new rotors plus a set of 20" msr rims, 20% tint, window vent visors, 10k. HID, Blacked out tail lights, oem sport wing,
Now I've read all the posts on the steering vibrations and the pretensioner and I do have those issues as well as loose steering and already got the tools so that's my next project but I noticed the when I also press the gas pedal down I can feel alot of vibration in the pedal and even with my arm on the armrest can notice a good amount of vibration there. From the guys who have had theses issues is it also to be maybe a motor or tranny mount also. I do get some delayed slippage from 1st to 2nd when it's cold but wonder if without spending a fortune on updationg every old part in the car do u seasoned vets think?
Appreciate your time and have learned alot from this club in such a short time.
Sincerely marco

P.s. I've had the car rims and tires balanced and even had the on car wheel balance as well to rule out any balancing issues. Wasn't cheap but Butler tire does good work.
Thanx

Thinks that's the issue. I think the prerensioner and possible a tranny mount causing excess vibration. Plus I lobe the look of this car but it definatwly needs more HP. ANYBODY SELLING A SUPERCHARGER
