I changed my engine mounts on both side but seems to still have vibration that is really annoying at idle and can't seem to solve the problem. When the car is in Drive and stop at the Red Light, If i pull the windows up or using any Power draining thing, the car Vibrates vigorously......but it stops after i let go of the windows switches....What could be the problem? Spark plugs? Spark wires? or what not? (scratching HEAD....)

First, how old is your battery? If you say 3-5 years then replace battery should solve your problem.

Yes, there is a rubber tranny mount......it is located at the rear end of the t/case and sandwiched between the transfer case and the chassis crossmember.

Could be the tranny mount, simple enough to replace.
Comon problem (mainly C230 1.8k engines) alternator goes bad and with any extra load on the engine is shakes very bad.
