Question Engine mounts

i was just wondering how, hard/easy, is it to fix engine mounts, whether it tightening, or to replace them, because my car vibrates way too much when its in idle, im pretty sure that is the only problem, that i can think of, my car is a 93 altima, if anyone can help please do, Thanks.

Most of the time it is a bolt thru or to the engine mount that is tightened/loosened. Depends on the car, but most are the same principal : A rubber and metal mount from the engine to the chassis.

you should try changing your spark plugs, the oil, and clean out the injectors, maybe time for a new filter.

when my truck is do for an oil change it usually gets idle shakes. my honda did that a couple of times.

well, thanks for the input Dan,im pretty sure its the mount for the transmission, cause ive got 3 mounts, one in the front, back, and the right, the sounds and vibrations are coming from the right one which im sure is the transmission, so hopefully ill get it taken care of soon, and now i think my cv joints are going too, damn.
