my 8 is needs help

Friday night before getting home i noticed my 8 started shuddering when i ease off the clutch at a stop then as i let off a little bit more it would get worse. So i changed the transmission fluid since it was really low and nope its still doing the same thing, im about to change the rear differential oil here in a bit hopefully it works but if it dont would y'all happen to know what causes this before i bite the bullet and let mazda take over......

BTW my 8 is an 04 MT with 67XXX miles........

Sounds like shot motor mounts. Is your idle stable when stopped while it shakes and does the problem go away when accelerating?

My idle is fine, it only does it when im going from a dead stop but once past 1500rpms it stop and it drives normal It even gets worse when i go in reverse. If im at a dead stop and release the clutch just a lil bit my car would start rolling but now it shudders like if my wheels are stuck or something is keeping it from moving. Ill try and get a video of it...........

Well mazda said 2 of my mounts are destroyed and to replace them its gonna cost $679 for both. If i buy solid mounts would they install them or is it best to stick with OEM?

You can get both mounts online for half the price. If you're handy, installation isn't that bad... Stick to OEM.
