Default spacer plate between engine and transmission

so after digging in the forums i finally found out that the ~1500rmp vibration is coming from spacer plate between engine and transmission. My car no longer has warranty so i was hoping someone can find some pics of the actual plate and where it is making contact, so i could fix it myself.

The noise you're talking about is under a TSB, TSB's are not necessarily warranty items. Take to a dealership and ask them about that specific TSB. I don't know the number right off the top of my head but depending on the dealership they may just do it for you.

I dont think its the same vibration. It normally occurs around 3K only.

Does it do it when cold only, or all the time? I know I had a heat shield that was making an awful vibration at about that RPM, but would only do it when the car was cold.

if it was a heat shield, you wouldn't feel it in the steering wheel and pedal, though...
