Car Rocks at less than 2000RPM

[rhutch]

Hey ya'll

I have a 2002 Protege ES 2.0L Manual and when I am in second Gear and slowing down, if i let the RPM go below 2000 the whole car shakes, I took it to the local mazda dealer and they told me that it is a bad engine mount but I checked all the engine mounts my self and it did not seem to have any excessive wear. This also only seems to be in second gear.

Any advice is welcome

Cheers

He may be right.

Motor mounts are an issue with us.

Are you geting a lot of wheel hop taking off on a slick surface (rainy pavement)?
