Default repost w/ working pic: Vibration-I found it! NOW WHAT?

<center><img src="http://idisk.mac.com/browndog1/Public/transmount.jpg"></center><p>I have been searching for the cause of my drive train vibration for a while now. An Audi repair shop told me the vibration was from a bad turbo, I didn't believe him, so I kept looking. I adjusted the snub mount...no joy. Went alittle further under the car and saw something suspicious...the tube brace (see picture) was touching the trans support. I loosened the bolts on the tube brace and pried the brace away from the tranny mount ear...STARTED THE CAR UP AND NO VIBRATION!!! Smooth as silk!
Here's my question: Now what? The trans is resting on the tube brace, is that correct?
What should I do to separate the tube brace and the trans mount ear? I guess I could add washers until it's not touching.

Default try rubber insulation. Or use high-temp foam. If it touches the metal washers it might start rattl

ing again.

good luck
