Smooths right out with shift to neutral. In the thread I just read a poll said over 80% of people had this problem, yet the posters were all over the place guessing at solutions. Has anyone ever found a definitive solution to this problem?

If you're talking about the "normal" vibration ( "normal" meaning no bad motor mounts, crank pulley, engine performance issues, etc. causing problems) that many of us feel in gear while stopped from the time our Patriot was new, no I haven't seen anything definitive. People have speculated on changes to the torque converter, changing idle speed, larger motor mounts with thicker material, etc. as possible improvements but I haven't seen anything confirmed.

Spark plugs might have lost proper gap.
Crappy motor mounts
Are there any updated motor mounts of higher quality than OEM available? Thanks.
I’m wondering the same thing.
And it’s more of the trans mount side
My '08 needed tranny mounts around 300,000, but the motor mounts have been fine. Likewise my Pontiac didn't need motor mounts till after 250,000. I don't think I've replaced mounts on any other vehicle I've owned (20+). Do the easy/cheap stuff first.
Wow you are really lucky. Why do the easy and cheap stuff first if that’s not the problem?
I'm just suggesting that too often people leap to a major defect without eliminating silly little things that can mimic the same symptoms.
