My S13 started to shake violently very recently. I just started it up one night and it started to convulse. Well, when I got it home, and popped the hood, I had to hold the hood in place by hand because the shaking was so bad. It looked like it was the engine that was shaking the car around and shaking things loose. I also noticed a difference in the sound of the exhaust (usually it's a much louder tone) and the engine wasn't making as much noise at the RPMs I usually shifted at (I ended up shifting at higher RPMs until I realized what was going on and kept an eye on the tachometer--I couldn't hear the usual tone in the engine to let me know when to shift). Could it be due to a broken engine mount?
