Default Vibrations in cabin at idle- fixed

2015 JKU. had a very low speed front end crash and then had significant vibrations in the cabin at idle and a few other rpms while driving. Motor mounts were good. I read elsewhere that the trans could have shifted forward slightly during the crash. I inspected the trans mount bolts and it appeared the trans had indeed shifted forward a little. Loosened the bolts and drove in reverse to about 15 mph and hit the brakes hard. The vibrations immediately stopped. Tightened the bolts back up and it’s been riding smooth ever since, to the point where if it’s idling I wonder if the engine is even running. This fix may be worth a try if you think the trans might have shifted slightly.

Great tip! I'll need to keep this one in mind for future reference.
