New guy here

Just bought an 06 TL with 74k miles. Runs good and was well taken care of. I didn't see an introduction area anywhere so I started here.

I stumbled on Acurazine when trying to diagnose a weird vibration that occurs at low rpm around 35-40 mph. After researching quite a bit it looks like it's the motor mounts. I put the car in drive with my foot on the brake and the motor moves way too much for my liking. Looks like I'll start there. I'll also do a 3x3 trans fluid flush ASAP as well. Thanks guys.

Awesome, thanks guys! I'm currently looking at the XLR8 mounts also. The only thing I'm worried about with those is additional vibration. I'd like retain stock ride quality as my car is only used as a daily driver. Thank you both for your quick responses.

Yeah, I tend to think the same. No air conditioner during Alabama summers just wasn't cutting it. Yep, seems like a good place. I always tend to go to forums for answers when I'm having a problem. It's usually been covered hundreds of times already.
