mine is still slightly lumpy but not shaking anymore. it use to shake all the time especially when stopping it would bog down and go bop a lot. its very strange stopping and nothing happening, I love it. always new it wasn't suppost to be rough idle n shake. every garage said the same that they all do that. I thought there was no hope for it. im very happy with the work. hes done me proud. the engine is so quiet as well its strange lol.

They are ridiculously quiet when left standard.... All you should hear from the front of the car is the belts...

Sounds like the garage did a good job... Well worth recommending them if they did good.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
