I have a vibration when it idles and when you first press the gas.

I had mounts replaced and the vibration showed up. The Nissan dealr said becasue I used After amrket mounts, they are stiffer than Nissaan mounts. So that is the problem.. When I took the car back to the Natiaonal CHain that i had the work done to they said it may be a pully. Either a harmonic balencer?? or A/c compressor, not mounts Is this possible

yes it is possible , without looking at the car its tough to diagnose ,be safe and have another shop look at it , the dealer perhaps , i dont have any spec on the mount stiffness but it is possible ,
and if the shop said you need a pulley which one , harmonic balancer ??? this would cause a vibration
let us know

Well.. they said it is not the pulley, they are claiming it is the Torque converter. I don't know.,.. at first they claimed it was bad gas causing the vibration and they have gone through numeorus excuses and now they basically say i need a new transmission... I am not a mechanic.. but it seems fishy to me. It is a national chain.. so I am thinking of calling cusmter service to make a complaint...???

Thank you for your help.. any guidance would be appreciated.
