I have the same problem, done basically what you did - has a service & has the engine mounts changed...

Was alright but now it vibrates in the cabin.

I think it is bull**** no one has come up with a way to fix this

Quote "It's hard to stop this in older vehicles - its new"

anyone have a fix!

Absolutely. My previous TH had a rough idle right from when it was brand new. I remember my passenger seat back rest used to shake all over the place. It's a known problem with the 3.5's and Mitsu will readily agree and just say it's part of the deal on the KE/KF/TH's.

I will say they'd improved things by the TJ. My TJ is much, much smoother (and that's even with the slightly more lumpy Ralliart cams).
